Hugh & List:
I've encountered a bug in 2.6.35-RC3 where my /tmp directory
(mounted using tmpfs) returns a "File too large" error when adding
execute privileges for the group permission byte:
Example:
touch /tmp/afile
chmod 767 /tmp/afile # example where chmod works fine
setting bits that are not the group execute bit
chmod 755 /tmp/afile
chmod: changing permissions of `/tmp/afile': File too large # bug
There are several gigabytes of free RAM + several more gigabytes of
swap space available.
Here's more information:

If some fields are empty or look unusual you may have an old version.
Compare to the current minimal requirements in Documentation/Changes.

Let me know if there is anything else I can provide to help hunt down the bug!
P.S. --> I got your email from a list of kernel maintainers, if there
is another address this report should go to, please let me know & I'll
forward it.
