Thanks Darren.

The CFLAGS used in the Makefile is:

CFLAGS=-g -O2 -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wuninitialized -Wsign-compare -O
-mcpu=ultrasparc

For the sftp-server error "process_write: write failed", I think it's
not spurious error because the sftp command "put file" failed. The file
is created in the server, but could not be written to because of the
"file too large" error returned from the write function.

I'll try to run "make tests" of version 4.7p1 today.

Thanks again,
John

4.7p1 was just released in the last day or so.  Could you please repeat 
the tests with that version?  I test on Solaris 8/sparc regularly so 
there's no fundamental reason why it shouldn't work.

These are spurious and can be ignored.  They are fixed in 4.7p1.

I'm wondering if configure some how got something like large file 
support wrong... Could you please post the content of config.h (eg "grep

'#define' config.h" to strip out the comments and blanks).  Also, what 
CFLAGS are set in the Makefile?

Thanks.

usually comes from bad judgement.
