cvs client failure to examine directory on NFS V3

Hi!

When committing/importing from a directory which resides on an NFS V3 
filesystem, the  CVS fails to examine the directories
with a 'value too large for data type' error. Commits seem to work 
anyway, but once on a 'cvs import' a whole directory structure got left 
out which is not really good.

Version:
cvs-1.11.5-1mdk on Mandrake Linux 9.1

Reproduce:
For me this happens on a linux cvs client on a machine mounting an NFS 
V3 filesystem from an HPUX server.

Fix:
Adding "AC_SYS_LARGEFILE" to configure.in, and rerunning autoconf fixes 
the problem for me.

Best regards
