Interesting that you mention that, since this is the output of df on my Sun-3:

I wonder if something is getting screwed up by the obvious integer overflows in computing filesystem size.

I don't have WireShark handy, I can share the pcap with you if you want though. I figure I'll spare the rest of the list that 8KB attachment.
