I'm afraid you have two options: either shell out to the 'stat'
command line tool, or recompile the PHP package. You can 'apt-get
source php' and manually edit debian/rules to add the
"-D_LARGE_FILE_OFFSET=64" looking argument to configure, then just
'dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us' it (or debian/rules binary).

There is a bug report against PHP pertaining to this, but it breaks
something in one of the other modules that I can't recall off the top
of my head. I'm thinking it's related to Apache PAM, but that may be
something different ...

Chris
