Neil, I've tried to trace where the -1 was coming from in the kernel, and found
many implicit 32/64bit conversions while tracking the data source. It might
well be that they're okay.
I don't know off-hand what the particular conversion I found bad because I
wrote it more than 2 months ago and I do not remember everything anymore. I'd
have to find that out again, and can do it if wanted, but it takes me time.
More time than perhaps a month ago because I have rebooted my machine since
then.
It was extremely obvious, because when I mounted a NFSv4 filesystem with cross
architecture, "df", and "ls -lh" produced all kinds of funny large and strange
values for size, freespace, user and group of directories.
this particular bugreport is about a crash occuring because it returns 4GB
while it should return -1. the patch has been posted, it is upstreamed, the url
to the patch is in this bugreport (comment #13 and comment #14), so I don't see
why I should bother digging out the details when the solution is right there.
