[patch] 1.13, 1.13.19: A diff LFS problem

[Maciej W. Rozycki]

Hi,

 The current version of tar mishandles over-4GB files (archive members) 
when invoked to perform a diff on 32-bit systems.  This is due to
read_and_process() using size_t type to keep file's size.  The following
patch fixes the problem. 

src/ChangeLog:

2001-02-09  Maciej W. Rozycki  <address@hidden>

        * compare.c (read_and_process): Use off_t for size.

  Maciej
