Hello, I just tried to download a file of some 3 gigs from a foreign server using wget. On both a 3.9+ (snapshot shortly after tagging) and 3.8 machine, wget crashes. On the 3.9+ machine, it worked like this:
Loaded symbols for /usr/libexec/ld.so #0 0x063c39b9 in kill () from /usr/lib/libc.so.39.0 (gdb) bt #0 0x063c39b9 in kill () from /usr/lib/libc.so.39.0 #1 0x06400093 in abort () at /usr/src/lib/libc/stdlib/abort.c:65 #2 0x1c014bb5 in http_loop () #3 0x1c01cd8c in retrieve_url () #4 0x1c018dd5 in main () and looking into the protocol for the 3.8 machine yields this: Length: -1,585,934,797 [application/x-tar] Refering to http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=354989 I went to look into config.log to find ac_cv_sys_large_files=no ac_cv_sys_largefile_CC=no ac_cv_sys_largefile_source=no despite this being version 1.10... what gives? Best, --Toni++
