[issue11323] os.sendfile() bo failure on solaris

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr> added the comment:

Ok, so the root cause is that sendfile() under Solaris can fail with EINVAL when the offset is past the end of file (but only on 64-bit builds, strangely :-)). Here is a patch, tested under Linux, 32-bit OpenSolaris and 64-bit OpenSolaris. It also uses a more reasonable data size for the tests, since 10MB makes it annoying to trace problems.
