Hello, This patch to bigcore.exp addresses a few 64-bit problems: - core file exceeding file system's file size limit On a 64-bit system, the coredump can exceed the file-system's max file-size leading to a truncated corefile (the ia64 rhel3 system I was testing on maxed at 1x10^9 bytes / [us] 1 terabyte). This patch modifies bigcore.c so that it sniffs out the file-size limit by probing for how far a seek will go, caping things at that limit. - use 64-bit off_t if available i386 GNU/Linux has a 64-bit off_t (off64_t). This patch tries to use that to compute the file-size limit, if it is available - assume things work when dejagnu / tcl screws up the file size This restores (and better comments) an edge case I accidently changed with my last patch - it modifies bigcore.exp so that when dejagn/tcl botch the file size computation it's assumed things will work. Otherwize the test is incorrectly aborted on 32-bit systems, with a broken dejagnu/tcl, that do support large corefiles. Test on i386, ia64 and amd64 rhel3 systems which all pass. ok? Andrew
