The 'find' command that you are using appears to be compiled without large file support. "large file support" means files larger than 2GB in size. When 'find' calls the stat(2) kernel system call on the file the size is larger than the datastructure can return and produces the error you show. I am guessing that the directory you are searching has at least one file that is larger than 2GB in size. The GNU 'find' command does support large files. This capability should be automatically detected when the source code is configured and subsequently compiled. You did not say what version of GNU find you were using nor what operating system you were using so I can't guess if this was a precompiled version of 'find' or if this was a version you compiled yourself. If you are using a precompiled version of 'find' from somewhere it should already have this capability. If not please file a report with them asking them to provide it. If you are compiling this yourself you should verify your compile environment. Some environments need configure time hints to create a fully functional program with large file support. It is likely that if you compile a new version from source code yourself that large file support will be automatically detected.
