>Release:        FreeBSD 2.2.8-RELEASE i386
>Organization:
Ravenbrook Limited
>Environment:

	Generic 2.2.8 PC.

>Description:

	/usr/bin/wc overflows at 2^32, so passing it a big file
        (or stream) gives bogus results.

>How-To-Repeat:

	$ dd if=/dev/zero bs=1m count=4097 | wc
        4097+0 records in
        4097+0 records out
        4296015872 bytes transferred in 614.248991 secs (6993932 bytes/sec)
         1048576
        $
>Fix:
	
        I'm sure a simple hack in the wc sources could make the
        counters 64-bit.
