Hi,

I'm getting a negative number being returned for large files when using
File.size()???  Any ideas?  One of my ruby books says an Integer can be any
size??

I'm using:
- File.size(path)
- getting negative number responses for large files (e.g. -1001581 where
file was really around 3.2GB)
- using Windows XP
- using ruby 1.8.5 (2006-08-25) [i386-mswin32]

thanks
