Title:
  dash and /bin/sh test -nt (newer than) fails on large files

Status in dash package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: dash

  Ubuntu 9.10rc and Ubuntu 8.10 and probably others.
  x86 hardware

  dash:  Installed: 0.5.4-9ubuntu1.1 on 8.10 and  Installed:
  0.5.5.1-2ubuntu3 on 9.10rc

  dash (and thus, via symlink, /bin/sh and thus almost every script on
  the system) fails to handle test -nt on large files (larger than 2GB?).
  All tests return false.  BASH and /usr/bin/test handle it correctly.

  $ dash
  $ touch bar
  $ dd if=/dev/zero of=foo bs=1024K count=2500
  $ test foo -nt bar && echo hi
  $ test bar -nt foo && echo hi
  $ /usr/bin/test foo -nt bar && echo hi
  hi

  $ bash
  bash$ test foo -nt bar && echo hi
  hi
