Description SpanKY gentoo-dev

the current python code uses 32bit filesystem funcs which can lead to random failures on some filesystems.  please add AC_SYS_LARGEFILE to the configure after the call to AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS to fix.

Could you provide some article explaining why? Out of pure curiosity, since python-exec is never going to read more than ~50 bytes out of a file.

please see the blocking bug.  it isn't just about read/write; stat fails too.
