+      Because PHP's integer type is signed and many platforms use 32bit integers,
+      <function>filesize</function> may return unexpected results for files which
+      are larger than 2GB.  For files between 2GB and 4GB in size this can usually 
+      be overcome by using <literal>sprintf("%u", filesize($file))</literal>.
