Hi all,
Im having a strange problem with viewing large binary files using mc. I have one file thats 3.7Gb: -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 3721035776 Feb 7 15:46 tapedata_1.dat When i go to view this file, mc bombs and gives me the following error: GLib-ERROR **: could not allocate -573931520 bytes At first i though this was an error with Glib and lfs, however i have another file even larger: -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 4789108736 Feb 11 11:42 tapedata.001 I can view this file with no problems in both ascii and hex and search throught the binary with no problems. So the problem seems to be file specific, but i can cat and hexdump the file without any problem and ive fscked the filesystem its on and it reports no errors. anyone have any idea as to what the problem may be? heres my version details: GNU Midnight Commander 4.5.55 Edition: text mode with X11 support to read modifiers Virtual File System: tarfs, extfs, ftpfs, mcfs, undelfs With builtin Editor Using system-installed S-Lang library with terminfo database With subshell support as default With support for background operations With mouse support on xterm and Linux console Using default locale Thanks Adam Technical Consultant ----------------------------------------------------------------------- FORENSIC DATA SERVICES PTY LIMITED http://www.forensicdata.com.au ------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Mc mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc
