I guess that's worth a comment.  But that first character doesn't get
used.  There were two alternatives:

	static const char byte_units[] = "_KMGTPE";

or something along the lines of:

+	static const char byte_units[] = "KMGTPE";
...
+	index--;
+       /* index=-1 is plain 'B' with no other unit */
+       if (index >= 0) {

We don't ever _actually_ look at the space (or underscore).  I figured
the _ was nicer since it would be _obvious_ if it ever got printed out
somehow.
