hi

I downloaded wiki2touch/wikisrvd from http://code.google.com/p/wiki2touch-standalone-ui/downloads/list.

after installation, I tested the app with the sample article.bin(from the aforementioned download page) and wikitravel.org. they all worked fine. so I decided to index a newest English article.bin from wikimedia.

I downloaded "enwiki-20100312-pages-articles.xml" (6.12GB), and indexed it using wiki2touch utility for os x on my macbook pro. the result is a 4.69 GB articles.bin.

after that, I transfered the file to iphone using diskaid (just like I did with the sample articles.bin), and restarted my iphone.

then things started to go wrong. I could select the new installed language, but I could not search anything. meanwhile, the sample articles.bin and the wikitravle articles.bin still worked fine.

I did some search on internet to try to solve the problem. a lot of ppl said that the problem is caused by the fact that the articles.bin is larger than 4GB. But I cannot seem to find any solution.:(

any help is appreciated.
