[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.
