Bug report: ls reports a HUGE file size for a file over 2 Gb


"ls" reports a 2.6Gb file as being huge!  This is under an XP Pro, NTFS 
partition with cygwin, 1.3.17-1 using ls from fileutils, 4.1-1.  The 
following shows the incorrect size for fred3.zero from "ls" and the correct 
size from a similar dir command.

The file was created with:  dd if=/dev/zero of=fred3.zero bs=4096 count=655370

******* Cygwin bash shell *******

edwards@MONTESA ~
$ ls -l *.z*
