Comment(by ckeen):

 Which results from

        EOVERFLOW
               (stat()) path refers to a file whose size cannot be
 represented in the type off_t.  This can occur when an  application  com‐
               piled on a 32-bit platform without -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64
 calls stat() on a file whose size exceeds (2<<31)-1 bits.

 of course
