>Description:
While using 'strings -t d' ("-t d" means print offset in decimal)
over large file over 2GBytes, it prints negative offset when
offset >2GB.
>How-To-Repeat:
strings -t -d some-large-file-over-2gb (such as /dev/wd0c)
>Fix:
In /usr/src/gnu/dist/toolchain/binutils/strings.c, line 553,
printf ("%7Ld ", (unsigned long long) start);
format "%7Ld " should be "%7lld ". Same for other formats.
