Which block count is correct?  [Along with the inconsistent
spacing ahead of the inode #, this really complicates my
COPS maintenance.]

Comment 1 Jay Turner 1999-05-24 14:27:59 UTC

Get same discrepancies with fileutils-4.0-1 and findutils-4.1-31

Comment 2 Preston Brown 1999-08-27 16:54:59 UTC

the 'ls' block count is incorrect.  Examination of findutils has shown
that the algorithm it uses for determining block count is wrong.  This
will be fixed in our next release.
