data size errors on Solaris 10 T2000 hobbit v4.2.0

I'm trying to diagnose an error when using the FILE MTIME feature. I've
searched the mail archives and googled but haven't found much relevant.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Error from file service

[file:/dbbackup/exp/RPRL1/exp.RPRL1.20070228.dmp]
ERROR: Value too large for defined data type

The specific error is being generated from the FILE test from
hobbit-client.cfg


HOST=db05
        FILE %^/dbbackup/exp/RPRL1/*.dmp YELLOW "MTIME>86400"

client-local.cfg entry is : 

[sunos]
file:`/bin/ls -1 /dbbackup/exp/RPRL1/*.dmp 2>/dev/null`

Indications from the mailing list are that this error, when generated by
the SIZE checks has been fixed but I didn't find anything relating to
MTIME.

This system also fails the LFS check - even though as a 64bit system it
shouldn't - possibly due to the lfs check not dealing with Solaris 10
64bit Sparc data types properly or (more likely) something I missed
setting in the
original build.

The build/lfs.sh script :

>sh -vx build/lfsacd.sh
        echo "Checking for Large File Support ..."
+ echo Checking for Large File Support ... 
Checking for Large File Support ...

        cd build
+ cd build 
        OS=`uname -s` $MAKE -f Makefile.test-lfs clean
+ /usr/local/bin/make -f Makefile.test-lfs clean 
+ uname -s 
OS=SunOS
        OS=`uname -s` $MAKE -f Makefile.test-lfs 2>/dev/null
+ /usr/local/bin/make -f Makefile.test-lfs 
        if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
                echo "ERROR: Compiler doesnt recognize the off_t C
type."
                exit 1
        fi
+ [ 0 -ne 0 ] 

        STDRES="`./test-lfs-std 4`"
+ ./test-lfs-std 4 
STDRES=4:1:32
        if test "$STDRES" != "4:1:0" -a "$STDRES" != "8:1:0"; then
                echo "ERROR: LFS support check failed for standard file
support"
                exit 1
        fi
+ test 4:1:32 != 4:1:0 -a 4:1:32 != 8:1:0 
+ echo ERROR: LFS support check failed for standard file support 
ERROR: LFS support check failed for standard file support
+ exit 1
