ls Mis-reporting size of large files

- Subject: ls Mis-reporting size of large files
For files greater than 2gb, ls is mis-reporting the size.
I assume this is a known issue. Is there a planned fix?
ie:
windows' dir command reports:
05/03/2003 10:22 AM 2,390,947,840 bigfile.tar
cygwin's ls reports:
-rw-rw-rw- 1 gmc Administ 18446744071805532160 May 3 10:22 bigfile.tar
What is that, some 18+ exabytes? I can only dream of a hard drive that big :-)
