Is there a file size limit that gpg can handle?

I've encrypted several large (greater than 3.5GB) files and when I try
to decrypt I get the following:

gpg: Warning: using insecure memory!
gpg: public key is 85B42F83

You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for
user: "Lee McKenna (LodgeNet) <lee@lodgenet.com>"
1024-bit ELG-E key, ID 85B42F83, created 2000-06-09 (main key ID
9604F356)

gpg: 3DES encrypted data
gpg: original file name='9198.mpg'
gpg: [don't know]: invalid packet (ctb=57) near 281685836
gpg: [don't know]: invalid packet (ctb=61) near 281685837
gpg: packet(2) with unknown version 99
./gotoit2: line 5:  2201 Bus error               (core dumped) gpg -v
--output 9198.mpg.decrypted --decrypt 9198.mpg.gpg

I'm running on FreeBSD-4.1-stable.  I've tried the Windows version to
with similar results.  I've tried changing the key length to 768, I've
tried different cyphers like Blowfish, etc.

Interesting to note that if I encrypt using a symmetric key by supplying
a simple passphrase, everything works fine.

Anyone else run into this problem?

Thanks.
