DF (coreutils) - bug??

Hi CoreUtils,

I just found a bug (?) in DiskFree (df). The description is:
1. I have a one large HDD 250Gb in size
2. It is mounted as one partition, ext2.
3. The fdisk shows the correct partition size (-p option inside
fdisk), somethin' around 250Gb.
4. But the df shows me completely different info to the same partition
- it sees only AVAILABLE 132.111.804 1K-blocks (no more) for this
250Gb mounted partition, while the USED are 120++M 1K blocks (of
course I've using this drive). Thus, it is tryin' to tell me that I
have only 12Gb left on my device (while actually there are 130Gb free,
as shown by other utilites and as tested by swapping extra 100++Gb
files in sum into this partition - there was no any problem for
read-write. Just the problem is wrong DF output info.

The problem seems to be related to well-known "137Gb LBA limitation".

Sorry if it is a known bug (isnt it?)
Hope you'll guide me what to do for the fix...I've no idea for now. :(

Sincerely,
Alex

PS: SlackWare 10.2(k:2.4.32), CoreUtils 5.96, NEC ExpressServer 5800/55Wa H/W +
Seagate IDE HDD 250Gb (1 partition) as /dev/hdc1 mounted to /mnt/250gb/
