Possible qsort() bug with large dataset

Hi,

I've been trying to use qsort() from glibc 2.2.4 on Linux running on an
Itanium box with a large data set.  The data is gathered from an mmap'ed
file which is >2GB in size.  I found that somewhere around 2G, qsort stops
sorting the data correctly.  Even though qsort() takes size_t as number of
elements, which is 64-bit on ia64, I suspect some code assumes it to be an
integer.

Is this a known bug? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Akshat Aranya
