Are there known problems dealing with files that are larger than 8MB?

I did a find-file 
on optest.2, which is 8,832,770 bytes long.  When I
did a display-buffers, I got:

 MR Buffer         Size  Mode           File
 -- ------         ----  ----           ----
.   optest.2	   -7944446 Text	/simsong/Simson1/optest.2
    *scratch*	   0	 Lisp Interaction 
    database	   65512 Text		/simsong/db/database
    *Buffer List*  0	 Buffer Menu	


When I did a Meta->, it took me to the beginning of the file, not to
the end of the file.

I'm doing this on a NeXT computer, with emacs version 18.53.11.
Plenty of swap space available.
