removing large file

Somehow I imported a 1.6 Gb rpm file and now I need to delete it.
Rm and mv, which work on smaller files, both segfault with the
big file. I use the Reiser file system and all utilities are up to
date. Kernel 2.6.12.

I have enough space remaining on my drive so this is not a critical
problem.

I stupidly thought that the linux maximum file size of 2 Gb meant
that slightly smaller files were ok, but maybe not.

Comments, anyone?
