Using 'diff' or 'cmp' on files bigger than 2GB you receive the
error message: Value too large for defined data type

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. dd if=/dev/zero of=testfile seek=2050 bs=1024k count=1
2. diff testfile /dev/null
  => Value too large for defined data type
3. cmp testfile /dev/null
  => Value too large for defined data type

	

Actual Results:  The errormessage 'Value too large for defined data type'.


Expected Results:  Obviously I would like to see the diff. :-)

At ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/diffutils-2.7.2.tar.gz is a fixed
version waiting since 1998 for it's usage.
