Catfish does not find files whose size exceeds 2GB

Changing size type from long to int64 gets things working, not sure if it's the right thing to do.

Do you not see them if you just open catfish to search?

In vivid - I do get the fail to see the file once catfish opens from the command.

However, opening catfish and then searching, file is found.

Elfy,

You need to press Enter on the text box to start the search. It really does
not matter if you run catfish from the command line or not.

Note that I'm running a 32-bit system. Since this error is related to
integer size, you may not hit it on 64 bit systems, but I can't assure that.

> 2) Open catfish and search for 'file' in that directory:

I can confirm that this does NOT affect Ubuntu x86_64

Tested your patch in Ubuntu x86_64 and was able to find a 6.7GB file. Since it works for you and did not negatively impact here, applied the patch: https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~catfish-search/catfish-search/trunk/revision/386
