Comment 1 Greg Steele 2003-11-06 15:06:05 UTC 
This is a duplicate of bug #27199, reported on different releases. 
That bug was closed (I don't know why - I couldn't see that it was 
fixed).

The bug does not exist in RHAS v3.
Comment 2 Jeff Johnson 2003-12-16 23:05:50 UTC 
file-4.06-1 (at least) in rawhide is compiled with
large file support.

AFAIK, there are no plans to backport large file support
to AS2.1, hence WONTFIX.
