You can download a release of findutils in which this problem is
fixed from ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/findutils.

The releases on alpha.gnu.org are for testing purposes, so please
take the time to download the release and verify that your
problem has been solved. Once the release has been sufficiently
tested, it can be uploaded to ftp.gnu.org for everybody to use it.

Applied.

This patch does not require a copyright assignment as it consists of several copies of the same small wording change.

I am not happy with the current description of %k (and %b):


Amount of disk space occupied by the file, measured in 1K blocks
(rounded up). This can be less than the length of the file if
it is a sparse file (that is, it has ``holes'').


The number is not rounded at all, but the "used diskspace" really is different from %s/1024, as a file uses n blocks of size x for a given fileystem with blocksize x. (i.e. a one-byte file uses 4096 bytes on my ~/, as I am using ext3 with blocksize 4096).

Patch against CVS attached.
