Vinum and Volumes Larger Than 2TB

Howdy,
I'm attempting to use Vinum to concat multiple plexes together to make a single 4.5TB volume. I've noticed that once I hit the 2TB mark it seems to fail, it looks like once it hits 2TB the size gets reset to 0. Example below,
root at shakezula:~# vinum create /etc/vinum0.conf
2 drives:
D partition0 State: up /dev/da0 A: 0/0 MB
D partition1 State: up /dev/da1 A: 0/0 MB
1 volumes:
V vinum0 State: up Plexes: 1 Size: 1858 GB
1 plexes:
P vinum0.p0 C State: up Subdisks: 2 Size: 3906 GB
2 subdisks:
S vinum0.p0.s0 State: up D: partition0 Size: 1953 GB
S vinum0.p0.s1 State: up D: partition1 Size: 1953 GB
Now I've seen mentions of people using Vinum on larger partitions and it seems to work ok. Also when I use gvinum it succeeds, however given the state of the gvinum implementation I'd like to stick with vinum.
Suggestions/comments anyone?
Thanks in advance,
-Bri
