Sebb commented on IO-323:
-------------------------
What are the options? I can think of the following:
# throw a runtime exception
# ignore the problem
# return a "special" value, e.g. -1
The same problem may apply elsewhere in IO.
> What should happen in FileUtils.sizeOf[Directory] when an overflow takes
> place?
