Please send a patch against the CVS version, which can be found here:
http://cvs.gnome.org/lxr/source/mc/vfs/extfs/patchfs?raw=1

It seems from your comment that you took the version from 4.5.51 as the 
base.  Version 4.5.51 is years old.  Replacing files is very unsafe - it's 
easy to remove recent changes.

It will be done when either patchfs shows correct file sizes or when the 
editor stops trusting stat().  patchfs is not ready for users yet.

You probably didn't see the latest and greatest links that doesn't support
the "-dump" option.  Check recent discussion in the archives:
