Nick,

I don't see how this helps you. I'm pretty sure that there's no large  
file offsets built into the source code as literals. Would be rather  
odd. So this can't be your problem.

Have you tried adding:
    ASSERT(sizeof(off_t)==8);
and running a debug build?

If that failed I'd suspect order of header file inclusion. BoxConfig.h  
must be included first (via Box.h IIRC).

Cheers,

Martin.
