NOTE: this worked in 2.4.0-test6 and I believe it stopped working around test8, but I'm not sure. May have been around test7.
Previous kernels allowed up to 4gb to be returned by the old stat. Upgrade your glibc and fileutils -- most recent distributions (Red Hat, SuSE, ...) are LFS ready, and the only reports I've seen about this concerned Slackware.
And Debian :-( It is hard to get rid of such file - GNU 'rm' complains too, as it tries to stat that file first :-( Fortunately
echo -n > x; rm x
works. I filled bugreport some time ago (when 2.1.94 come to woody), but it was closed, as there are no 2.4.x headers in Debian, so it is not possible to recompile glibc against them... Recompiling glibc is enough for woody, BTW.
