Subject: Strange rubyzip behaviour (Errno::EFBIG)

Hi,
I'm having a really weird issue trying to use rubyzip on FreeBSD 4.9.
Whenever I try to open a file, no matter what the size, I get:

Errno::EFBIG: File too large

Example is as follows(using rubyzip-0.5.5):

travis@aop:~$ uname -a 
FreeBSD aop.intranet 4.9-RELEASE-p4 FreeBSD 
4.9-RELEASE-p4 #0: Wed Mar 17 16:55:09 EST 2004
root@aop.intranet:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MYKERNEL  i386

travis@aop:~$ ruby -v
ruby 1.8.1 (2003-12-25) [i386-freebsd4]

travis@aop:~/rubyzip/test$ irb
irb(main):001:0> $:.push("..")
=> ["/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8",

"/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8",
"/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/i386-freebsd4", ".", ".."]

        from (irb):3

travis@aop:~/rubyzip/test$ file rubycode.zip 
rubycode.zip: Zip archive data, at least v2.0 to extract

travis@aop:~/rubyzip/test$ ls -l rubycode.zip 
-rw-r--r--  1 travis  devel  617 Apr 19  2002 rubycode.zip

I've also tried rubyzip-0.5.3 installed from ports and gotten the same exact
problem. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Travis Whitton
