Hello fellow BackupPC people,

As the subject suggestions I'm getting an error on a host I'm attempting to 
backup. The exact error as it stands in the error log shows (server name 
removed):

2010-09-01 12:08:28 <serverhostname>: Cannot compress negative numbers in pack 
at /usr/local/BackupPC/lib/BackupPC/Attrib.pm line 295.
2010-09-01 12:08:35 Backup failed on <serverhostname> (Child exited prematurely)

I found the following post from 2004 -> 
http://osdir.com/ml/sysutils.backup.backuppc.general/2004-03/msg00066.html
and the solution was to change file File-RsyncP-0.46/FileList/FileList.xs. I 
checked this file on my system and it already has those changes.

Details of my system:

Solaris 10 update 6
BackupPC 3.1.0
Perl 5.8.8
File-RsyncP-0.68

Anything I could try?
