gdr-ftp 17aad04201 There used to be a limit of 65k on the size of the describe
database source when using descu.  This limit was imposed
	due to a bug in ORCA/C (it is no longer clear whether
	this was a bug in malloc(3) or in array indexing code).
	As of ORCA/C v2.1.x, this bug appears to be fixed, so
	the limit was lifted.
A couple of calls to lseek(2) didn't have their return values
	checked for errors.  Fixed.
Updated email address for Devin Reade.
