Could someone go over PR bin/8637 and tell me if it looks okay? I've rebuilt libc on my machine and it seems to work; I can seek to the end of a 5gb datafile and get my position correctly. The only bad thing in my patch is the error you get if you ftell() on a FILE* that is positioned past 2 gig. errno.h doesn't have an EOVERFLOW, which is what X/Open says ftell should return. I put EFBIG in instead. Whoops. Something I realize I forgot already is manpage tweaks to document fseeko and ftello. -Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
