Package: fpart
Version: 0.9-1
Severity: important

fpart cannot handle large files on 32-bit machines.

Reproduce by creating a sparse file:

    amoe@kupukupu $ dd if=/dev/zero of=xen-guest.img bs=1 count=0 seek=3G
    amoe@kupukupu $ fpart -n 3 xen-guest.img
    xen-guest.img: Value too large for defined data type
    0 file(s) found.

The same command will work on an amd64 system.
