I'm getting the error message
buzzword-bingo:~ geofft$ th bird
Can't open "/mit/sipb/lib/Roget/offsets": Read-only file system
I'm pretty sure that's irrelevant (and reporting an old error), and what's
really going on is that the 32-bit process calls
lseek(5, 4096, SEEK_SET)
while the 64-bit one calls
lseek(5, 17592186048512, SEEK_SET)
(It also seems to read the first 52 vs. 72 bytes of the file in the read()
call on the two platforms.)
Are DBM files architecture-dependent?
