fileutils-4.1: du reports wrong size on large files

[Matthew Eldridge]

Hi-

I'm trying to use gnu du, which is installed as gdu on our systems, to
avoid hiding the system du command.  The system version deals happily
with large files (> 4GB) but the gnu version does something strange.

For example, on small files:

  hpux> ls -l fileutils-4.1.5.tar.gz
  -rw-r--r--   1 eldridge   users      2310374 Jan 31 13:11 
fileutils-4.1.5.tar.gz
  hpux> gdu -k fileutils-4.1.5.tar.gz
  2266    fileutils-4.1.5.tar.gz
  hpux> du -k fileutils-4.1.5.tar.gz
  2266    fileutils-4.1.5.tar.gz

But on big files:

  hpux> ls -l
  -rw-r--r--   1 eldridge   users      5881824079 Jan 31 13:26 bigfile.bin
  hpux> du -k bigfile.bin
  5743969 bigfile.bin
  hpux> gdu -k bigfile.bin
  717997  bigfile.bin

So du is reporting the correct file size, and gdu is reporting the
wrong file size.  This is for:
  
  hpux> gdu --version
  du (fileutils) 4.1
