I saw some old items in the archives (circa 2001) but there
was not much there about this problem. The most recent
version of coreutils seems to have broken du. The listing
below illustrates my point:
$ ls -l a*
-rw-r--r-- 1 rossboulet None 2 Dec 25 17:24 a
-rw-r--r-- 1 rossboulet None 3740 Dec 25 10:58 aaa
$ du -a a*
1 a
2 aaa
$ du -ah a*
512 a
2.0K aaa

I was going to buy a copy of "The Power of Positive
Thinking," and then I thought: What the hell good would that
do?
