OK, split worked fine.

My problem was that, in that entire file of a test log, I knew that
2,776 errors records out of 48,102,877 records were recorded.  I just
could not remember the record type tag for an error!  I wanted to load
the file just to see one error record.

Using grep against the split files, it just took a minute to find the
first error record.  I then used grep with the error tag string against
the original file to pipe the errors to a separate file.

Solved.  Thanks.
