Thanks for the quick patch.  There are still problems with the reported 
disk usage.  I use as an example the file win.ini.  With the 2.4.24 
kernel I get the following results:
$ ls -l win.ini
-r--r-----    1 root     staff         399 Jan 27  2003 win.ini

$ stat win.ini
  File: "win.ini"
  Size: 399       	Blocks: 2          IO Block: 1024   Regular File
Device: 305h/773d	Inode: 1023        Links: 1
Access: (0440/-r--r-----)  Uid: (    0/    root)   Gid: (   50/   staff)

$ du -h win.ini
1.0k	win.ini

But, under the 2.6.1 kernel:
$ ls -l win.ini
-r-xr-x---    1 root     staff         399 Jan 27  2003 win.ini

$ stat win.ini
  File: "win.ini"
  Size: 399       	Blocks: 0          IO Block: 4096   Regular File
Device: 305h/773d	Inode: 1023        Links: 1
Access: (0550/-r-xr-x---)  Uid: (    0/    root)   Gid: (   50/   staff)
Access: Thu Jan 15 15:34:09 2004
Modify: Mon Jan 27 18:54:00 2003
Change: Mon Jan 27 18:54:00 2003

$ du -h win.ini
0	win.ini

Now, surely the 2.4.24 kernel is reporting the more accurate disk usage 
since with 2.6.1 it reports 0 blocks (vice 2).

Thanks in advance,
