confirmed - it`s readdir which assumes 32bit.

attached is a sample program which shows the issue on my system.

if compiled with -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=3D64", the problem goes away.

old posting from around 2001:

as 32bit systems can use 64bit filesystems, i think btrfs is correct an=
d bash is wrong,=20
as it isn`t LFS aware. i think all 32bit stuff should be LFS aware, now=
adays.

to be exact, it`s not bash but readline library which comes with bash.
bash configure script correctly checks for _FILE_OFFSET_BITS value, but=
readline configure script doesn`t.
this explains why i could not reproduce the issue when i build bash wit=
hout readline support.

does it make sense to file a ticket at novell bugzilla ?
