When using a '*' trying to match a file bigger than 2Gb tcsh (and csh)
doesn't 'see' it. bash is ok.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. /bin/tcsh
2. mkdir adir
3. cd adir
4. dd if=/dev/zero of=big-file seek=2047 bs=1024k count=1
5. dd if=/dev/zero of=small-file seek=2046 bs=1024k count=1
6. ls
  => big-file  small-file
7. ls *
  => small-file
8. ls big*
  => ls: No match

9. ls big[TAB] => completes to ls big-file


	

Expected Results:  I expect to match the '*' in tcsh files smaller and
bigger than 2GB.

Comment 1 David Mastronarde 2001-10-05 19:39:50 UTC
There are two additional failures related to this bug:
1) in a csh script or on the tcsh command line, "if (-e bigfile) echo exists"
will fail if bigfile is > 2G.
2) Big files fail to show up in a Motif file chooser window.  The molview
program, part of the opengl_for_x test programs available from SGI (?) will show
this behavior.
We have found the bug to occur with EXT2, EXT3, and filesystems NFS-mounted from
IRIX.

Hi-

I think this is due to the lack of largefile support in tcsh-6.10.00
for linux. The latest version of tcsh (6.11.00) available from 
ftp://ftp.astron.com/pub/tcsh includes largefile support. I was able
to enable largefile support by adding a patch to the tcsh source rpm.

tcsh-6.12-3.i386.rpm out of the beta for 8.1 doesn't have this problem.


Comment 4 Bill Nottingham 2003-02-06 20:10:49 UTC
This is fixed in tcsh in 8.0.
