Patch PE80-0907010
------------------

Platforms: Windows

* The dbvolcreate utility failed to correctly initialize the volume
  file size if used with an initial size (-s command line option) of
  512 MB or higher (#3793).

  The resulting volume file size was 2.5 MB (the default size) but
  dbvoldump reported the size specified with the dbvolcreate -s
  command line option.

  The resulting volume was functional, although the database server
  would report a "data volume file is smaller than expected" warning
  message on startup.

  Usually, volume file space is pre-allocated so that the file size
  equals the current size reported by dbvoldump.
  However, in this case the volume file would only use as much space
  in the filesystem as data was written (sparse file).
