[EMBOSS] Database too lare for dbifasta

[ajb at ebi.ac.uk]

Hello Ravi,

For files >2Gb you should use the dbx* applications for indexing e.g.
dbxfasta. It is likely that dbifasta in EMBOSS 4.0.0 just appeared
to work for large files but that entries past the 2Gb limit would
not be correctly retrieved.
