I'm currently testing a theory that me needing 4084GB is a lie -- that I really only need to get the HD over half empty and it'll work.
Theory confirmed! FireVault is now turned off. Yay!
And you're sure this isn't just some fanboy thing? 'Cause I've fought more than a couple pimply, overweight vamps that called themselves Lestat.

Cool, Jon. I searched on Google for a while and couldn't find a fix -- it looks like it's something Apple need to fix.

(this is where I admit that my patience in dealing with my own home computer is about the width of a hair and I tend to overcomplicate things.)

Bon Bon, since other files and C&P work, it seems like a setting to that specific file. Email it to me (deleting any confidential information first ,since you are sending unencrypted) and I'll take a look. I promise nothing, but I've had good luck diagnosing fiddly little things like that quickly.
My profile addy is good.

My Vista install CD has arrived!
Watch it now sit on my shelf collecting dust. But I have it, should ever decide it's time to make the switch.

This exchange is what made me think I could ignore the 4 Terabytes message and just try to clear out half the drive.

Bwah, that's great, Daniel. Wonder if Apple will try to put a stop to it..

There were rumors that Apple would lock up a hacked machine the next time it tried to run an automatic software update, but they seem to have been debunked. The semi-official word, as far as I know, is "Do what you want, but don't come crying to us when it breaks and you've voided the warranty."

Awesome. If they can get networking working, I might buy one (although they are $400 here in the UK, mumble grumble).
