I wonder how you managed to restart gnunetd without gnunet-update -- the code 
does check.  The only way I can think of this happening is that you might 
have started gnunetd with a different directory / configuration.  

As for the size being shown incorrectly, part of what gnunet-update will do is 
recompute the size.  If you want to force a run of gnunet-update, remove the 
first character of "$GNUNETD_HOME/state.sdb/GNUNET-VERSION", that should 
cause gnunet-update to actually do stuff (and equally cause gnunetd to force 
you to run gnunet-update).
