Description of problem:

See attached screenshot. 1) Those values should never go negative.
(why are they signed at all?),  2) they were printing completely random numbers.

this whilst copying from internal hard disk -> usb hard disk.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.8.1-4

How reproducible:
only saw it once.

Steps to Reproduce:
copy lots of files, wait.

Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security
updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and
reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and
hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test
release, reopen and change the version to match.

Thank you!

never saw this happen again (though I rarely copy files with nautilus), so I
don't know if this ever got fixed or not.
