Subject: [9fans] seek() in fossil?

this article (linked from slashdot, sorry) on freshmeat discusses problems
with large files in unix, but i think at least one of them may be remotely
relevant to plan9, however small the issue may be, it may warrant some
discussion:

fossil has a maximum stream size (maximum file size, as i understand it) of
2^73 bytes, however the seek() system call accepts only a vlong (2^64) as an
argument.

the article can be found here:
