I noticed that when the filesize number reached about 1GB it started to report
negative numbers. I didn't notice the exact size. I noticed it while
downloading
several CD/DVD ISO files. I don't do that often so it may not come up again.

Observation: It look like the variable size it too small also you might want to
switch to using an unsigned type.

This is a repost from ethereal bug 1024. I haven't been sniffing many packets
these days so I don't know if the problem still exists.
