[Live-devel] "fopen()" problem with large files on Fedora?

[Ross Finlayson]

Can anyone shed light on this guy's problem.  He says he's using 
Fedora Core 5, but gets a "File too large" error when he tries to 
open a 2+ GByte file using "fopen()".  I thought that all modern OSs 
could now handle files this large?

Could he perhaps be using an out-of-date version of "libc" instead??
