CNFS + FreeBSD + cnfsstat "read:file too large"

Ok, so when I got a sec to look at the news-server again, the cnfsstat just worked.  
And I didn't touch *anything* - and I'm the only one who even looks at it.

So I dunno... maybe something with cnfsstat to keep an eye on.
As for the Perl setup, it's just the version that comes w/ FreeBSD (4.0)

' version 5.005_03 built for i386-freebsd  '

But seems weird to me that it would matter about the 'largefile support' - given that the size of the cycbuff files themselves never changes - only the contents of those files internally.  But I am neither a Perl nor INN guru (yet) so...

For interests sake, here's the *now working once again* cnfsstat output:
