Problem with Rdiff-backup V.95 and large files

[John P Burns]

Hello,

I am running rdiff-backup on a redhat 7.3 with python 2.2.1 and when I try 
to backup my directory I get the following error:


Exception '[Errno 75] Value too large for defined data type' raised of 
class 'exceptions.OSError':

I only have 1 file in my directory, but it is quite large (32 GB).  I have 
tried smaller files on this machine and it works fine.  Is this problem 
related to the old 2 GB file size limit?  Has anyone found a workaround?


Thanks!
