Comment:

 This function is _filelengthi64. But don't forget to correct hSeek/hTell
 too. It's part of "New Haskell I/O library" drama which has long, long
 story :)

 one possible temporary solution is to use my Streams library
 (http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Library/Streams) which supports large
 files
