Summary: 2 GB filesize limit for ftp downloads

Initial Comment:
I try to download a 4GB ISO image from
ftp://ftp.informatik.uni-frankfurt.de/pub/linux/Mirror/ftp.redhat.com/fedora/core/2/i386/iso/FC2-i386-DVD.iso
with curl 7.11.2 and it shows the filesize as 2GB.
The download size is displayed correctly as 4.07GB when
I use ncftp as ftp client. This led me to believe the
problem is with curl, not with the FTP server.

The ftp server is using proftpd 1.2.9

The client machine is a P4 running debian unstable.

FWIW, wget 1.9.1 displays the filesize as 75,673,600 bytes.
"ls" in the directory shows a filesize of 4,370,640,896
bytes.

curl -V shows me:
curl 7.11.2 (i386-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.11.2
OpenSSL/0.9.7d ipv6 zlib/1.2.1.1
Protocols: ftp gopher telnet dict ldap http file https
ftps
Features: IPv6 SSL libz NTLM Largefile
