[LUG.ro Mix] Bug#296934: procmail: mail is lost if mailspool file > 2GB

[Horacio Castellini]

Package: procmail
Version: 3.22-10
Severity: important


Hi - I've been losing mail for about a week now because my mail file has
grown larger than 2GB.  My system is capable of generating larger files
as I'm able to append to the file using 'cat', but procmail refuses to
add to the file using a standard

:0
/path/to/file

type recipe.  I modified the debian/rules file and rebuilt the package
using the directions I found here:

and it seems to be working again.
