[Integrit-devel] Fwd: [Bug in integrit version 3.05]

[DervishD <int...@de...>]

    Hi list :)

    Ed told me about reporting this to the list. This problem doesn't
seem to be strictly related with large file support, because I'm
using large files without problems.

    I'm going to try to isolate the problem if I can afford the time.
In the meantime, here it is...

    Thanks a lot in advance.
