OSX Bug: Shrink an Image to 16 Terabytes?

This is a pretty cool (and ridiculous) bug I ran into today. I wanted to resize an image using preview from 140px wide to 100px wide. Preview wouldn’t ever save it when I clicked OK. I think I figured it out - take a look at the Resulting Size.

So THAT’S why I needed four back-up drives during my last project.
