Here's a context diff for the fix, just adding the line fSet(ncp->flags, NC_64BIT_OFFSET); after line 1319 of libsrc/v1hpg.c, so in context it now reads: if (magic[sizeof(ncmagic)-1] == 0x1) { gs.version = 1; } else if (magic[sizeof(ncmagic)-1] == 0x2) { gs.version = 2; fSet(ncp->flags, NC_64BIT_OFFSET); If it's convenient, I'd appreciate your testing this instead of your patch, to see if it works for you without the necessity of adding NC_64BIT_OFFSET to your open calls. Thanks! --Russ
