[Alpine-info] Bug#478545: [alpine] alpine does not support large (>2 GiB) mbox's (fwd)

[Asheesh Laroia]

I'm forwarding this Debian user's bug report to the alpine-info list.

Is this a known issue in Alpine?  I imagine it is a c-client issue; is it 
a known issue there?

The "LFS" tag in the Debian bug means that this issue relates to large 
file support.

If possible, please reply to all so that the Debian bug can pick up on 
any conversation here.

Package: alpine
Severity: normal
Tags: lfs

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

If you attempt to open a mailbox that is over 2 GiB in size, alpine will refuse 
to open it, stating 'Folder "INBOX" opened with 0 messages'  Pine 4.64 had the 
same behaviour previously.
