Hello Jeffrey,
Attached is another bugreport I should've forwarded earlier. By enabling
large file support, the size of off_t changes, and therefore the size of
any struct containing a field of type off_t. The API is still
compatible, but the ABI is not. The best way to "fix" this is to bump
the soname.

Package: libgmime-2.0-2
Severity: serious
Version: 2.2.10-1
libgmime-2.0-2 introduced an ABI breakage in 2.2.10-1 by activating LFS.
GMime has a streaming API which uses off_t, and that changed size.
From the build logs:
Automatic build of gmime2.2_2.2.9-1 on ninsei by sbuild/i386 99.99
checking size of off_t... 4
Automatic build of gmime2.2_2.2.10-1 on ninsei by sbuild/i386 99.99
checking size of off_t... 8
Also this causes gmime-sharp to pass incorectly sized parameters being
passed to the streaming functions causing crashes (asserts), see
#442173.
