install/upgrade issue - xfree86

Hi,
I noticed something when installing/upgrading the xfree86 package... pacman appears to only download a portion (<20%) of the package, then it installs it.  This isn't really a critical issue, since everything seems to work just fine, regardless.  I'm just wondering why this is

BTW, I'm running fully-upgraded 0.4 arch.

There's an integer overflow bug in the progress bar code.  The file will download just fine, but the progress bar wraps after ~42mb.
