Applied patch from Pu Long:
======================================================================
In ltp-20041007,gf15 and gf18 failed on both 32-bits and 64-bits
platform(Tiger and normal i386 PC).
Here is the reason:
Growfile used lseek and fstat to operate file. When file grows
beyond 4G,
lseek and fstat would fail on 32-bits machine.
I suggest replacing lseek with llseek and replacing fstat with
another method which can handle 4G files correctly
The reason of failure on 64-bits machine is that growfile uses
'int' to hold offset/size of a file. The attached patch would fix that.
The failure of gf15 and gf18 is not stable and related to speed
of disk I/O because they grow/shrink files repeatedly for some certain
time interval.
So within the same time interval, chances that a file grows
beyond 4G
on a machine with slower disk I/O are slimmer.
