Note that the way that the available disk space is determined, if by
that you mean the space available on a file system, is
platform-dependent; different UNIX-compatible OSes have different calls,
and I don't know whether all the platforms on which Ethereal runs have
compatible calls, and I also don't know whether there exists a wrapper
for Win32 that looks like one of the UNIX calls - and I suspect that on
different flavors/versions of Windows different calls should be used
(later versions might have calls that better handle large file systems).
