Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: cronolog

problem is that cronolog doesn't open the log files using LFS and is
therefore limited by the max size of an int in all 32 bit architectures.

this is a known problem in debian for several years as can be seen by :

  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=440152
  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=304626

and has been reported upstream and available from there with a proposed
fix as can be seen in :

  http://cronolog.org/patches/cronolog-large-file-patch.txt
  
to reproduce : in a 32bit architecture (like i386)

$ cat /dev/zero | cronolog log
$ echo $?
5
$ stat -c "%s" log
2147483647

it affects all versions of cronolog released
