I'm also having the same problem with the version in Jaunty.
$ apt-cache policy pbzip2
pbzip2:
Installed: 1.0.3-1
Candidate: 1.0.3-1
Version table:
*** 1.0.3-1 0
500 http://mirror.lcsee.wvu.edu jaunty/universe Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
However when my office was running Hardy, pbzip2 vesrion 1.0.2-0, we had
no issues with large files.
I've grabbed and compiled the 1.0.2-0 version on jaunty with debugging
enabled. On a large 14 GB file the 1.0.2-0 version operates correctly.
The reason that pbzip2 isn't working is related to the off_t variable.
In hardy it's correctly getting set to 8 while in hardy it's 4 after
it's compiled.
