This patch was over simplistic and should have been verified better 
before checking in. There were two problems with it:

a) it used the 'L' length modifier which is supposed to be used 
with floating point data types as opposed to integers. Yes, glibc 
allows it but it is noted that such use should be considered a bug.

b) it didn't care about the actual size of off_t

I've checked in a patch which fixes both problems:

Hi,
Someone reported the bug on the debian bts: http://bugs.debian.org/349390.

After inspecting fish.c it seems that there are 31 bits limitations 
everywhere and in particular in:
- fish_linear_start(): ... sscanf( reply_str, "%d", ...
- &fh->u.fish.total : declared as an int

Cheers,
Ludo
