Description of problem:
stat() call fails on files over 2G. It failed on U4 and also with the
new glibc in the U5beta (glibc-2.2.4-32.16).

This was originally reported as "/usr/bin/test -f" fails with large
files. Issue tracker #36853

Here is a small program that demonstrates the problem.

[root@jarjar footest]# ls -l
total 2152536
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root          145 Jul 16 16:46 ls-out
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root        16417 Jul 22 09:25 stattest
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root          380 Jul 22 09:25 stattest.c
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root           49 Jul 22 09:16 stattest.c~
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root     2202009600 Jul 16 16:45 test-file
[root@jarjar footest]# cat stattest.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <sys/errno.h>
 
main()
{
  struct stat st;
  int retval;
 
  retval = stat ("./test-file", &st);
  printf("Big file result = %d\n", retval);
  if (retval < 0)
    printf("errno = %d\n", errno);
  retval = stat ("./ls-out", &st);
  printf("Small file result = %d\n", retval);
  if (retval < 0)
    printf("errno = %d\n", errno);
 
}
 
[root@jarjar footest]# ./stattest
Big file result = -1
errno = 75
Small file result = 0


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a large file
2. run the test program
