Bug Description

librsync sometimes has problems handling files >4GB, thus rdiff-backup fails on those files when updating backups.

That bug has been around for some time, there is even a patch - yet repository versions still ship broken.

Debian has fixed it since librsync1 (0.9.7-4), Intrepid now ships librsync1 (0.9.7-5) - so it should be fixed.

Could somebody please confirm this?
