Hi,
I updated glibc, but it didn't help much. I can't update the kernel
however as its a system I should keep easily maintainable and theres no
newer SMP kernels available for it. However what I did find is that I
can add the following flags for GCC to the Makefile:
-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE
Which forces the larger file handles to be used and it seems to be
working now. Takes a while to generate a report of course due to the
huge amount of data it has to parse but its going. Thanks for your help
everyone.
