Read error using UTL_FILE

Hi,
we use UTL_FILE to read files in our PL/SQL Program. Today we got an exceptional file, which is greater than 2 GB. our program failed with the error as:

SQLCODE <-29284> SQLERRM <ORA-29284: file read error>

Is there any restriction on the file size we can use with UTL_FILE? In case if there is any restriction, is there any way to overcome this restriction?

Thanks,
