If it is what I think it is ... and I definitely have to go test it a 
little more than that would be a bug related to one I fixed some time 
ago.

The filesize in the AIX stat is 64bit and if you give that value to a 
malloc you'll get what the higher 32bits of that number are saying (we 
have a big endian machine) and in 90% of the cases that's 0. ;-)
