[svn-r5407] Purpose:
Bug fix Description: Was not able to handle data size (file size) larger than 32bits. Was using long, which is only 4 bytes big in SP, thus overflowing into negative when trying to address 2GB or larger. Solution: Changed those variables involved in file size/offset calculation to type off_t. (If a certain system/compiler has off_t defined as 4 bytes, it can't write to file size larger than 2GB anyway.) Note that the lseek of SP with -D_LARGE_FILE still fails for offset larger than 2GB (works for 2GB). That has to be fixed soon. Platforms tested: burrwhite (linux 2.4) and modi4 parallel.
