Speaking of the 'find' command, I believe I found an inconsistency just 
a few hours ago. In "man find", it states that when testing by size, the 
suffixes b, c, w, k, M and G are valid. However, the texinfo document 
makes no mention of the 'M' or 'G' suffixes. The command appears to work 
like the info file says.
[rj at mavis download]$ find ~ -depth -type f -size +600M -print
find: invalid -size type `M'
[rj at mavis download]$
Using a size test "-size +600000k" instead works fine.

This is with CentOS 4.2, fully updated.
[rj at mavis download]$ rpm -q findutils
findutils-4.1.20-7
