Your problem is not the fopen() but fread(). Would be nice to 
know with which message the program crashes.

Given you defined the arrays as automatic variables, they go onto the stack. 
The stack is limited to 256kB by default. From the little info you provide
I _guess_ this is the problem. See the FAQ on how to increase the stack space
or make the arrays non-automatic.
