I've added the 2G+ big filesystem image patch to mol-0.9.71_pre1, but I'm not
too sure about the qemu patch.  I think I'll leave that one out for now and if
anyone asks for it we'll direct them to the site.  Thanks for the patches!

i'm sorry, but your patch doesn't work. I get an "fstat: file to large" error,
while starting mol. I'll attach my patch (for mol-0.9.70.ebuild), these
"LARGE_FILES and FILE_OFFSET_BITS 64" maybe in some files overkill but it
doesn't do any harm.

I can't test this patch personally, I don't have the disk space.  Did the first
patch work before?  Does your new patch work now?  From the thread on the MOL
ml, it looks like the first patch should be sufficient.  It's only applied to
the unstable version of MOL.  Are you sure you used that?

Possibly fixed patch?

Using a bit more of F. Steinel's patch, try again!

Seems to work correctly now, thanks to scoobydu for testing.
