Can that Linux binary create and read files larger than 2GB on a *Linux* system? If it doesn't use 64bit capable syscalls, then there's nothing the BSD compat layer can do about it. As a counter-example, a quick check shows that a 'cat' binary from RHEL AS 4 has no problems with a file over 4GB in size, but strace/ktrace show that it uses the Linux fstat64() call, etc. (Hmm, do the compat_linux versions of the 32bit-only syscalls return EOVERFLOW like the Linux ones would on files >2GB? I don't _see_ code to check that...) Philip Guenther
