Actually, Thief has a similar problem in its installer. If you're within 
60 meg (or so) of having 32G free disk space free, it won't install, 
complaining you don't have enough space. If you then create a 80 meg 
file, it'll install fine.

Oh, and Warp, they aren't "unsigned integers" and "signed integers" in 
C. They're "ints", not "integers".  ;-) That's the root of the problem. 
Mixing signed integers and unsigned integers are fine. It's just C's 
weird conversion rules for ints that are problematic. ;-)  </nit>
