Use of stat on large (>2GB) files leads to misleading results being printed. This appears to be caused by truncating the 64 bit length used in LFS to 32 bits when printing. See below.

please try stat-2.5-2 in 7.2. It should fix this problem.
I said all releases. This includes 7.2 with stat 2.5-2.
It's fixed in stat-2.5-3. You will find it in rawhide
