Beyond Compare 4.1 32-bit running on Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit fails to load SMB/CIFS mounted network drives with the error: Value too large for defined data type.
To fix the issue, uninstall the 32-bit version of Beyond Compare 4.1 and install the 64-bit version.
Fix instructions for Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit:
sudo apt-get remove bcompare:i386
sudo apt-get install gdebi
sudo gdebi bcompare-4.1.1.20615_amd64.deb
This bug is not in Beyond Compare 4.0.7 or earlier, it also doesn't affect Beyond Compare 4.1 32-bit running on 32-bit Linux.
Another workaround is to load network drives by typing the URL "smb://user@server/share" into Beyond Compare's path edit and hitting Enter rather than mounting a network share with the mount command.
