[rdiff-backup-users] [Fwd: [librsync-devel] 'internal error: job made no progress' on 25G file - Bug Request ID: 1110812]

[David Kempe]

Hi, here is some good news from a guy who has been working for this on 
me - should put an end to the 4GB file limit.
Can we please have some extensive testing on this patch to see if it works?
you will need to patch your librsync and rebuild rdiff-backup against 
the new librsync I think.
Here is the patch:
