[Bug-cpio] crc format and large files > 2GB

[Perry Gilfillan]

I'm using cpio-2.5-3 on Redhat 9 with the stock kernel 2.4.23.

I set up a script to create cpio archives with crc format, and then had it 
verify with --only-verify-crc.  

It created the archives without complaint, some measure more than 2GB.

It failes to verify the large files with the message:

   cpio: standard input is closed: Value too large for defined data type

I read that format newc supports more than 64k inodes, so I tried that.  Same 
results.

Is cpio ready to read large files?

Thanks,

Perry
