A utility creating such files on VMS would require it to write
records
larger than 32767 bytes, which is illegal, but there are (or have
been)
utilities that did, I have found several offending files on systems.
I'm not sure of the exact root cause or offending utility.
Changing the file with set file/attr=(rfm:fix,lrl:512) repairs this.

To add to the confusion: An RMS $GET will fail on such a file, but
a C read wil do fine.
