This can't be right (unless you tested only old GNU Emacs, like 19.24 or whatever). Besides, some (smart) editors don't load the whole file into memory anyways since you can't edit all that at once anyways (unless you reformat block / region or insert something in the middle). The only popular editors I can think of to surely fail this are FD Edit and FreeMacs (64k limit FTW !!).

Try GNU Emacs 20.5, VIM 7.2, VILE 9.7 at least (because they are popular and almost definitely well tested). If any of them fail, report a bug.
