Bug#241223: apache2-common: missing largefile (>2GB) support

[Harald Staub <staub@switch.ch>]

Package: apache2-common
Version: 2.0.48-7
Severity: normal


I added a large file (2.4GB) to a public directory:

 dd if=/dev/zero of=big bs=1024 count=1 seek=2500000

In apache's directory listing, I cannot see this file.  Also, I am not able
to download this file using http, error.log gives:

 (75)Value too large for defined data type: access to /testbig/big failed

I am confused about this.  With apache 1.3, it works fine.

Is it possible that the following compiler options are missing?
- LARGEFILE_SOURCE
- FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64
