Hi Gaz.
I don't know if this is applicable or not but if you're using a custom file
system such as SFS of older versions of PFS and AFS, you might have a problem
not totally different from what you're describing.
It seems that in order to make > 2GB (I think it was) partions most non-standard
filesystems use some dynamic block allocation sceme that might feck up AMiGA OS
commands.
I know that back when I was running AFS I was never able to correctly calculate
how much free space was available on my system.
Anyway, it might have something to do with this, it might not, but I thought you
might want to know. If you are using a custom file system, I suggest you try out
the code on a machine that uses FFS or SFS. If you aren't using any third party
file system you can just ignore this mail totally...
Greets,
