Subject: Question about File::Stat and file size

I frequently use the File::Stat structure.

I have found the size element is not large enough for DVD's (4Gigs)
because it always comes out as a negative number.

I also use the restart feature of ftp when transferring a DVD image and
find that the Ruby implementation does not support this large of a file
so I can't restart a transfer picking up where it left off.

Does anyone know if this will be addressed in future implementations of
Ruby?

Thanks,
