du -b/-h wrong output

[Михаил Котельников]

Hi.

du directory size report is wrong for -h or -b option (or for both). Example:

aiur:~# du -hs /usr
8,7G    /usr
aiur:~# du -bs /usr
8439888327      /usr
aiur:~# du --version
du (GNU coreutils) 7.2


armageddon:~# du -hs /usr
3,0G    /usr
armageddon:~# du -bs /usr
2818998331      /usr
armageddon:~# du --version
du (GNU coreutils) 6.10

address@hidden:~# du -hs /usr
647M    /usr
address@hidden:~# du -bs /usr
597968253       /usr
address@hidden:~# du --version
du (GNU coreutils) 6.10

-h MUST be less than -b/10^x. It's greater.

For some directories it shows results that seems to be right.
