Subject: full LFS support
From: info@tyrael.hu (Ferenc Kovacs)

Hi.

I would like to know what is the current status of the LFS support for php.

http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=27792
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=48886

As far as I can see, there are some patches floating around, but some
of them doesn't work, some of them are incomplete.

As far as I can see, with the latest release(5.3.3) you can't stat or
filesize a file where the size is >= 2GiB on 32bit OS, and >= 4GiB on
64bit.
Is this true?
From the proposed patches, it seems that there arent that many LOC
which needs to be adjusted to provide a decent LFS support.
Are there any blocker objections or architectural problems, or we just
lack specification or manpower to fix this issue?
If this gets fixed, will this be included into the 5.3 branch, or this
can only be added with the next major version?

Tyrael
