What OS was this?

Sorta.  This appears to be a "large file" (bigger than 2G).  lstat() was
passed the filename, but lstat will fail on such a file.  'truss' could
be used to confirm that.  This limitation is there because regardless of
the OS and filesystems, old code would not be able to handle the return
values from such files.

If this is Solaris, I would assume that this binary was not compiled in
the large file compilation environment.  I don't know if cfengine
attempts to do that or not.
