I can remember that when I moved this 5 Mb folder to another place,
GWorkspace started to compute right size. Probably there is something
with the file names? I use UTF-8 and I observed that non-UTF8 file
names can make GWorkspace confused. Probably such a file name can make
GWorkspace enter in an infinite loop - 4Gb looks suspiciously close to
the biggest 32-bit unsigned integer.
