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

[Maier, Harald]

Hallo Eli,

what I wrote is wrong. The problem is the function "file-attributes" in 
dired.c. Here another test:

(file-attributes "c:/home/maierha/tmp/tmp.dat")

(nil 1 5 5 (17968 29649) (17968 29649) (17968 29268) 4249180672.0 "-rw-rw-rw-" 
nil -6212 9360833)
(nil 1 5 5 (17968 29652) (17968 29652) (17968 29268) 4283041792.0 "-rw-rw-rw-" 
nil -6212 9360833)
(nil 1 5 5 (17968 29653) (17968 29653) (17968 29268) 1024         "-rw-rw-rw-" 
nil -6212 9360833)

The function was called during the creation of the file with the dd command. I 
am using the dd command from cygwin. The problem happens too with tramp (plink).

(directory-files-and-attributes ...) returns the wrong size. If I look into the 
C-Code then it appears that the problem is in the function 
"directory_files_internal" in dired.c. There "...nbytes" and "len"
variables are only a integers. Unfortunately I am not able to debug C-Sources.
