Audacity did the trick.
The problem with Rezound is that it tries to convert the whole file into some weird
"pf" format that is its own, and then it appears to try to load the whole thing
into RAM, of which I don't have enough (2GB max on this PC).
Good call on Ardour; I probably would have had the easiest time working with this file in
Ardour. Ardour is sweet. But for just editing one long audio file, it seemed a bit like
overkill. Also, I'd be too tempted to overdub onto it, which is a no-no for a live
recording :-)

Can someone recommend an audio editor for editing
a
90-minute-long WAV file?
I routinely use Audacity to edit 16-bit stereo WAV files around that
length. I never have any problems with the program.
I almost always use Rezound for songs (2-10
minutes long,
ususally), which I like a lot, but it chokes on big huge
files-- too slow, crashes, gets kicked out of the JACK graph,
and generally sucks.
JACK? Is that a requirement? I've lost track of the Audacity/JACK
compatibility issue. I have multiple soundcards and run JACK on only
one of them. That leaves me free to edit files with Audacity
accessing another card.
