subject: No Upload if more than 2.2GB of free space!!

Hello All.

I just installed a new HD on the computer that runs my BBS and the
available space on the Upload drive is now more than 3.2 GB.

Whenever an user tries to upload a file, he/she gets this terrible message:

   There are -1,042,259,008 bytes available for uploads in this area.

and, of course, the upload is aborted due to a lack of space. :-|

Can someone tell me how to solve this problem, other than creating a
swapfile of 1.1 GB?  It seems to be due to the type of variable
used to compute the available space, wich is limited to someting around
2.2GB... if this is true, no-one but Scott could fix it...

Ciao!

Alessandro
