Hi,

I just ran into this bug while using rdiff-backup.

This was with a 4.2 Gig Zope Data.fs database file. I ignored it for a
bit hoping it would go away. It didn't, but I was relieved to learn
that this was a known bug with a patch.

I spent quite a lot of time yesterday, patching librsync and rebuilding rdiff-backup against it.

Adding the patch is trivial. Basically, trim it a bit and add it as debian/patches/4Gigbug.patch.

You can get librsync and rdiff-backup debs and deb sources (for sarge) from

deb http://dulci.org/~faheem/debian/ sarge main contrib non-free
deb-src http://dulci.org/~faheem/debian/ sarge main contrib non-free

As expected, it made the problem go away.

It would be a good thing if this fix could go into librsync for etch.

Thanks.                                                       Faheem.
