I think, the CPU cannot address more than 2 GB via mmap. I try this on
a 64bit Athlon an there is no problem with a 8GB file. But i did'nt
try this with NewsCache and a databasefile greater than 2GB.

Another question is: how many articles are in the newsgroup with the
big database file? An example with at.linux and where the files are
exists:
ls -lha /var/cache/newscache/at/linux
total 720K
drwxr-xr-x 2 news news 4.0K Aug 17 19:44 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 news news 4.0K Aug 17 19:44 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 news news 768K Aug 17 19:45 .db
Articles, which are greater than 15kB are stored as files in the
directory (example: .art128009). Can you verify this situation?
You can try to run newscacheclean -t -p -s
