Summary: wget-1.9.1 cannot download large files

Initial Comment:
I used wget-1.9.1 to download a large file (4,260,986,880 bytes)
from an FTP server. It showed a negative file size, but downloaded
until it eventually crashed with the message below:
 
Length: -33,980,416 (unauthoritative)
    [               <=>                   ] -33,980,416    4.77M/s
Assertion failed: bytes>= 0, file C:/msys/unified/src/wget-1.9.1/src/retr.c, li
ne 292
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
 
I have confirmed that 4,260,986,880 expressed as a 32-bit signed integer
= -33,980,416.
