Package: manpages-dev
Version: 2.39-1
Severity: normal

open(2) (/usr/share/man/man2/open.2.gz) does not document the
error EFBIG for open(). I get this error when trying to run lde on
a 250-GB regular file :

  # dd bs=1 seek=250G count=1 if=/dev/zero of=bigfile
  # strace -o lde.strace lde bigfile
  # grep -w open lde.strace
  open("bigfile", O_RDWR)                 = -1 EFBIG (File too large)
  open("bigfile", O_RDONLY)               = -1 EFBIG (File too large)

Filesystem is XFS. Kernel is Linux 2.6.18.2 (ignore the sys info
below, it relates to another machine).
