The problem was mine.  I didn't upgrade glibc to handle
the large files.  As soon as I did, the fileutils 4.1
worked. Cancel the problem, please.

_____________Text of previous Message____________________
        Anyway I am using a slackware 7.1 linux distribution
with a 2.4 kernel.  The reason for this is that we need large
partitions for a database, and the 2.4 kernels remove the
2gig filesystem limitation.  I was uncompressing a file
that was a little under a gig when it disappeared.  It did
uncompress and I know it is there because of the used space
I get with df.  The error message with ls is
"/bin/ls:nt: Value too large for defined data type."
At that point I upgraded to binutils 4.1 and got a similar
message.
        Now has anyone fixed this so that one can see large
files with ls?
