Sqlcounter also wraps at 4GB in its reply.
Your "6GB" is actually 5722.045 MB, then wraps at 4GB so 1,7GB left and this
is replied ;-)
As far as I know there's no integrated solution to this unless you change
the source code.
Most people solve this by using rlm_perl if I'm not mistaking. Make your
perl calculate and reply gigawords + remaining bytes when values are >4GB
Ps Make sure your coova-chilli is equal or >1.0.13, else it won't understand
gigawords replies

Kind regards,
Y.
