problem with large files

Hello,

We are having a problem with find from the "findutils" package. When
looking at very large files, there is an error when an -exec ls option is
given (Value too large for defined data type). This is on a Solaris 2.6
sparc machine using GNU find version 4.1
compiled with gcc version 2.95.2. The error is given regardless of user
and file permissions (i.e. it occurs for both file owners or even root).
Size of the file seems to be the only thing that causes this error.
Below is the error message given and some examples of commands.

address@hidden gnufind . -name "psind*" -exec ls '{}' ';'
gnufind: ./psindex.dbf: Value too large for defined data type
gnufind: ./psindex02.dbf: Value too large for defined data type
./psindex02.dbf.gz
./psindex.dbf.gz
address@hidden gnufind . -name "psind*"
./psindex.dbf
./psindex02.dbf
./psindex02.dbf.gz
./psindex.dbf.gz
address@hidden ls -l psind*
-rw-r-----   1 bub   dbas      3226017792 Feb 20 07:26 psindex.dbf
-rw-r--r--   1 bub   dbas      401942384 Mar  7 09:42 psindex.dbf.gz
-rw-r-----   1 bub   dbas      3163103232 Feb 20 07:30 psindex02.dbf
-rw-r--r--   1 bub   dbas      356909056 Mar  7 10:08 psindex02.dbf.gz

Thanks for an otherwise wonderful package! Thanks.
