large files

[ethan mindlace fremen <mindlace@imeme.net>]

debians,

I have kernel 2.3.47 installed on my potato box (libc6 2.1.3-5) in order
to address files >2GB.  Matti Aarnio, author of the LFS patch, said
(back around 2.3.27) that there were Libc "issues".

Are these libc6 issues addressed? Can I safely compile a program (or use
debs from potato) and assume it will be able to address a 20GB file?

why:
I'm trying to use Zope (http://www.zope.org) for web-hosting, and it
creates a single large file for the database. There are no currently
availiable workarounds.

Thanks,
