ls Mis-reporting size of large files


For files greater than 2gb, ls is mis-reporting the size.

I assume this is a known issue. Is there a planned fix?

ie:

windows' dir command reports:
05/03/2003  10:22 AM     2,390,947,840 bigfile.tar

cygwin's ls reports:
-rw-rw-rw-    1 gmc     Administ 18446744071805532160 May  3 10:22 bigfile.tar


What is that, some 18+ exabytes? I can only dream of a hard drive that big :-)
