Bytecount too large: cvs-cur.9400xEmpty.gz

[Julian Stacey]

I suggest the boundary limitations fix in 5.x be extended in the CVS tree
to also include 4.x if possible ?  (4.9 prerelease is mentioned on -stable).

Background:
  With this cvs-cur.9400xEmpty.gz
        md5 5eb65d441f8b68e7cbb4174971124a62
        438560115 bytes
  ctm -v /pri/FreeBSD/development/CTM/cvs-cur/cvs-cur.9400xEmpty.gz
  on 4.5-RELEASE & 4.8-RELEASE fails with
        /pri/FreeBSD/development/CTM/cvs-cur/cvs-cur.9400xEmpty.gz \
                Fatal error: Bytecount too large.
        ( It wasn't my TMPDIR running short of space, partition for
          that directory had 3G free. )

  5.1-RELEASE works OK.
        ( It doesnt have the frequently increased MAXSIZE in 
          /usr/src/usr.sbin/ctm/ctm/ctm.h but I guess someone who
          read this list knows what / where the fix is ? )
