Fossil (and Git and Mercurial) don't do too well as a repository for huge binary blobs. You probably either ran out of address space or out of swap space. SQLite also has a limit on the blob size it will store.

SQLite itself should not be limiting factor in this case: SQLite limits.

Oops... I take that back... the total # bytes for this commit is 22828251136 (22 billion, 8 hundred million...). More than 1 billion default sqlite3 limit.
