ok, I see your point.

I will check for that as good as I can. But wherever I found a page 
about this 'largefile support on Linux' issue, it was always mentioned 
that on both FreeBSD and MAcOS X it would not be an issue but already 
done properly. Let's see - I'm not an expert on this issue yet, haven't 
even bothered about this largefile support thingie so far.

Ok, next time on the STLport developer page, hopefully with some "real" 
bug fix attempt from my side. Thanks for your input,
Ali
