Symptoms:
	PHCO_26898:
	( SR:8606239778 CR:JAGae08203 )
	compress(1) command exits with an error message "toolong:
	Value too large to be stored in data type" for large files
	in some cases.

Defect Description:
	PHCO_26898:
	( SR:8606239778 CR:JAGae08203 )
	The command "compress -f <filename>" exits with an error
	message if all the following cases occur simultaneously:
	a) <filename>.Z exists in the same directory
	b) File name length of <filename>.Z is more than
	   14 characters
	c) The size of <filename>.Z is more than 2GB.
	The error message is
	   "toolong:Value too large to be stored in data type"

	Eg:
	$ wc -c loooong_file_name*
	33030144 loooong_file_name
	2150809073 loooong_file_name.Z

	$ compress -f loooong_file_name
	toolong: Value too large to be stored in data type
	loooong_file_name: filename too long to tack on .Z

	Resolution:
	compress(1) command was using 32 bit stat(2) call which
	fails with EOVERFLOW when invoked on large files. Now,
	the compress command is modified to use the 64bit
	version of stat(2).
