FWIW I think that the bug was not introduced in v7.0-96-gc2e56e0: I had a working 8.23 on a system here, so I took the time to search deeper. I found the reason to be the wrong value of the 'hi_pos' parameter passed to lseek(): open("wc.big", O_RDONLY) = 3 fstat(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=1073741824, ...}) = 0 lseek(3, 1073741824, SEEK_CUR) = 1073741824 read(3, "", 16384) = 0 fstat(1, {st_mode=S_IFCHR|0620, st_rdev=makedev(136, 8), ...}) = 0 write(1, "1073741824 wc.big\n", 181073741824 wc.big) = 18 close(3) = 0 open("wc.small", O_RDONLY) = 3 lseek(3, 1073741824, SEEK_CUR) = 1073741824 read(3, "", 16384) = 0 write(1, "1073741824 wc.small\n", 201073741824 wc.small This took me directly to v8.23-47-g2662702 (which a quick test against v8.23-47-g2662702^ confirmed). Therefore, I think it's worth to do the following amendment: - [bug introduced in coreutils-7.1] + [bug introduced in coreutils-8.24] Thanks & have a nice day, Berny
