[h-e-w] w32: dired displays wrong filesize

[Maier, Harald]

To produce the bug create two big files as follows:

$ dd if=/dev/zero of=tmp.dat count=8388607 
4294966784 bytes (4.3 GB) copied, 252.983 s, 17.0 MB/s

$ dd if=/dev/zero of=tmp.dbt count=8388610
4294968320 bytes (4.3 GB) copied, 225.764 s, 19.0 MB/s

The ls command (and also the dir command) in a shell session prints
the filesize right.

bash-3.2$ ls -l
total 8388612
-rw-r--r-- 1 MaierHa users 4294966784 Apr 25 17:43 tmp.dat
-rw-r--r-- 1 MaierHa users 4294968320 Apr 25 17:47 tmp.dbt


But in dired the result is as follows:

  d:/tmp:
  total used in directory 4194305 available 7443304
  -rw-rw-rw-   1 MaierHa  root     4294966784 04-25 17:43 tmp.dat
  -rw-rw-rw-   1 MaierHa  root          1024 04-25 17:47 tmp.dbt

It looks that filesizes greater max integer are not displayed
correctly. This bug happens only on the W32 platform.
