That error message corresponds to the Unix errno value EOVERFLOW.
This was probably returned by one of the system calls fcntl, semctl or
stat.  Most of the stdio functions are capable of producing that error
as well.  I'm wondering if you have a very large (> 2Gb) file
somewhere.  Alternatively, are you using an old Linux kernel which
doesn't support large files?

Try using strace(8) to debug the problem.
