'wc -c' perhaps?  We already use it in a couple of places in the test
suite to get file size.

Note that 'wc -c' prints the numbers in its output left padded, hence
the 'sed "s/^ *//"' above, and once 'sed' is already up and running,
it might as well take over the role of that 'head -n 3 | tail -n 1'.
