I think I fixed this in r24854. However, the feature_test_macros man page confuses me so I would appreciate review.

You should do this in a more portable way with AC_SYS_LARGEFILE:

So just stick AC_SYS_LARGEFILE in configure.in?

Yeah.

*stares at geofft from having pushed this to -development without updating Trac*

The ticket did not specify how large "large" was, but I assume 2G is sufficently large:

jdreed@INFINITE-LOOP:~$ ls -lh /tmp/sample-large-file 
-rw-r--r-- 1 jdreed jdreed 2.0G 2011-03-06 18:26 /tmp/sample-large-file
jdreed@INFINITE-LOOP:~$ saferm /tmp/sample-large-file 
jdreed@INFINITE-LOOP:~$ ls -lh /tmp/sample-large-file 
ls: cannot access /tmp/sample-large-file: No such file or directory

Geoff tells me I wanted > 2G, and it worked with a 6G file.
