I think this has been fixed in 2.5 already: the problem was that the
x86 version of sys_open() ended up turning on the O_LARGEFILE flag,
which was wrong (I think Andi Kleen pointed this out, originally).
The fix was to add the sys32_open() wrapper.  I don't recall if this
has been added to 2.4.xx already.  If not, it probably ought to be
added.
