Bug in find 4.1

[Colin Coe]

Hi there

We have been using GNU find as a drop in replacement for AIX find in all new
scripts we have been writing and the results have been amazing.

One problem we have encountered is GNU find cannot handle files correctly
that are greater than 2GB in size.  For example:

[colinc]:/u/colinc> ls -la /foo/bar/bigfile.*
-rw-rw-r--   1 owner    group    2170801375 Aug 12 10:48
/foo/bar/bigfile.dat
-rw-rw-r--   1 owner    group    677904384 Aug 12 10:48 /foo/bar/bigfile.idx

[colinc]:/u/colinc> find /foo/bar/ -name "bigfile.*" -ls
520192 662016 -rw-rw-r--  1 owner    group    677904384 Aug 12 10:48
/foo/bar/bigfile.idx
636929 2119936 -rw-rw-r--  1 owner    group    2170801375 Aug 12 10:48
/foo/bar/bigfile.dat

[colinc]:/u/colinc> gnufind /foo/bar/ -name "bigfile.*" -ls
520192 662016 -rw-rw-r--   1 owner    group    677904384 Aug 12 10:48
/foo/bar/bigfile.idx
gnufind: /foo/bar/bigfile.dat: Value too large to be stored in data type
