All,
I was a little surprised to see the following when I did an "ls -l".

I've got a large hard disk, but not that large. The actual file size of the
last file is 2,395,230,457 bytes, as listed in Windows Explorer. The file
resides on a SEAGATE ST336732LW SCSI (40GB) HDD connected to an LSI Logic
1030 Ultra320 SCSI Adapter. These are in turn installed in a Dell Precision
530 Workstation.
I am using Cygwin on Windows XP and using NTFS as the file system. ls
--version reveals:
ls (fileutils) 4.1
