Comment:

 We WERE using a signed conversation in the format string.  I fixed that.
 Hopefully that was the only place.

 And yes, AIM uses 32-bit unsigned integers to indicate the size of the
 file.  So you DEFINITELY can't transfer a file bigger than 4GB using
 Pidgin.  If you manage to transfer a file bigger than that using two
 WinAIM clients then please let me know.
