  The Linux stat(2) function can return the error "EOVERFLOW" in the
case of a file with more bytes then can be represented in st_size
structre memeber and maybe other cases.  This error is not among the
errors listed as possible in the man page ERRORS section.  This error
needs to be added to that list.

  This error is against this Ubuntu package (though it shows up in other
distros man pages as well):

Description: Manual pages about using GNU/Linux for development
 These man pages describe the Linux programming interface, including
 these two sections:
  2 = Linux system calls.
  3 = Library calls (note that a more comprehensive source of information
      may be found in the glibc-doc package).
