Cosmetic error: 2.4.20 bootup and >2^31 sector SCSI devices

This looks like it's using some signed numbers that should be unsigned:

SCSI device sdc: -876998784 512-byte hdwr sectors (-449022 MB)

However all the tools (mkfs etc) work correctly and work out the correct
drive size (~1.75Tb):

/dev/sdc 1.7T 465G 1.2T 27% /usr/local/netflow/data

Apologies if it's already fixed in later 2.4.x.

David.
