I *don't* remember if you said which program and
A fair amount of programs probably still use a "long" integer for file offsets which can "address" 2147483647 bytes on a 32bit machine. Say, that's just about 2GB... Not all programs that do file I/O care about byte offsets, but those that do will break. > version of said program you're trying (and probably the libs on which > it depends, too), so if you did, sorry.
