   Mmmh... the only difference in the binaries should be that 1.10-4 is
   the first package I compiled with libc6 (unless I broke the make
   process, but I don't think so, as it works perfectly for me)


If the accesses to >2GB are failing, that means that somehow you've
linked with a version of libc that has a broken implementation of
llseek().
