If you are running in a virtual machine, try a smaller "hard drive".
I don't know about older Mac software, but on PC the limits used to be 2 GB, 504 MB and even further back, 32 MB (the 504 MB one was a BIOS thing, it shouldn't hit installers).
What happens is that the memory used to hold the free space is too small, and as a result the value overflows and becomes negative. And negative free space is never enough.
