[Box Backup] Bug fix - don't die on lstat failure

[Nick Knight]

Ben is correct, because the compiler just points to the 64 bit versions
- which are different calls the linker is explicit, I have tested the 64
bit version and have large files in my store under Linux.

When you mention compiler flags, do you mean the following defines?
'-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE' and `-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=3D64'

Or is there also an actual compiler flag?
In either case, are any large-file flags currently in the boxbackup
source?
