<simpara>
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>.
