RE: [rdiff-backup-users] Large files

[Ben Zampatti]

Btw, before I meant I recompiled librsync. I can't seem to reproduce the 
problem with rdiff via signatures/deltas/pach. I think that might be because 
one of the files I was working with wasn't all that large. I need to do a 
proper test (and find some more hard disk space) and then I'm pretty sure I 
will be able to get that error with rdiff as well.

I saw this as well.  The fix is simple.  In buf.c in the librsync source
move the

#include <config.h>

before

#include <sys/types.h>

If the order is reversed things get all messed up in the types definitions
and you get some 32bit ints where they do not belong.
