This is rather odd. From the stat(2) manual page:
EOVERFLOW
(stat()) path refers to a file whose size cannot be represented
in the type off_t. This can occur when an application compiled
on a 32-bit platform without -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 calls stat()
on a file whose size exceeds (2<<31)-1 bits.
So, we don't currently build with -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 on any
platform. However, this shouldn't be a problem--the file is nowhere
near the limit, being only a tiny configuration file.
Has the Ubuntu kernel/libc removed the 32 bit interfaces in favour of
the 64 bit ones, rather than supporting both. Or have you built a
custom kernel/libc without 32 bit interfaces?
If you were to build schroot setting CFLAGS='-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64',
does this fix the problem? If it does, I'll be happy to do this by
default; however, I'd like to find out exactly why it's failing first.

Roger
