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: [don't know]: invalid packet (ctb=57) near 281685836
gpg: [don't know]: invalid packet (ctb=61) near 281685837

I'm running on FreeBSD-4.1-stable, with version GnuPG 1.0.2 as installed

from the FreeBSD ports collection.  I've tried the Windows version too
with similar results.  I've tried changing the key length to 768, I've
tried different ciphers like Blowfish, 3DES, etc.

Interesting to note that if I encrypt using a symmetric key by supplying

a simple passphrase, decrypt then works fine on these large files.

Is this a bug?

A 300MB file works fine, by the way...just chokes on the 3GB or
larger...have not tried anything in the 2GB range yet...
