I had the same problem a while back.

This is a bug introduced in 10.3.9. There was a discussion on 
MacFixit or Macintouch, I don't remember which. Google should help 
out.

Basically, you're screwed; I don't believe you can make a disk 
utility image that size in 10.3.9. (However, 10.3.8 worked fine for 
this, evidently.)

Sorry for the bad news,
