I hope you get a better answer than this from someone else.....but I don't 
think you can easily.

Both size? and info? assume an integer field so they fail in the same way.

You could try reading it, but that may take forever, or fail on lack of 
memory:

  length? read/binary %big-file

If you have Command or a recent Beta with 'Call enabled, you could issue the 
appropriate operating system command and capture/parse the output -- ls or dir 
etc.

It'd be worth adding a bug report to RAMBO ( www.rebol.net ) to report the 
problem.
