Karl sent me an unstripped crashing binary, and I could use gdb to
inspect the data at the time of the crash. The problem seems to be
that during compilation of some files, off_t is 32bits, and in other
files 64bits (see backtrace below).

Looking at the two files, one of them loads <kpathsea/c-auto.h>,
but the other one does not. Assuming that off_t should be 64bits,
this should do the trick:

  #include <assert.h>

  #include "image/image.h"
  #include "image/writejpg.h"

Could someone test that please?

Unfortunately, there may be other files with the same problem, so I 
wonder, would it not be better to add  <kpathsea/c-auto.h> to
ptexlib.h instead?

Best wishes,
Taco
(who is a little bit annoyed at yet another LARGE_FILE bug after having
been assured again and again that it would not be a problem at all)
