Fixed! The problem was with some VFS sources doing bad things with
config.h

This file should always be included before system includes. Otherwise,
some of the definitions (in this case _FILE_OFFSET_BITS) in it won't have
any effect.

Considering possible compatibility issues and performance on low-end
systems (i386, i486sx) I decided not to enable large file support by
default, but now it should be easy to enable it.

Please take the latest snapshot from http://www.red-bean.com/~proski/mc/
and compile it with the following commands:

./configure CFLAGS="-g -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -Wall"
make

Please report the results.
