rsync - Aug 2004 - [patch] rsync large file support on AIX and HPUX

Hi,

HPUX and some AIX releases have a bug in their implementation of mkstemp(). They
do not open the resulting file with O_LARGEFILE. Copying a >2GB file files
fails
therefore.

IRIX, Linux seems to be o.k.

There is an efix for AIX available but seems not to be deployed everywhere.

Cheers
   Olaf

This was fixed recently.  Please give rsync 2.6.3pre1 a try:
