I have added this official patch from Jim Meyering:

2004-03-28  Jim Meyering  <address@hidden>

        Under some circumstances, without -c, du would mistakenly count the
        space of hard-linked files, not just the first one it encountered.
        Reported by Anthony Thyssen.
        * src/du.c (du_files): Don't ever clear the set of `seen' dev/inodes.

Except that this patch is broken and needs another one to work correctly,
unfortunately only described as "minor optimization".

2004-03-28  Jim Meyering  <address@hidden>

        Minor optimization:
        * src/du.c (process_file): Don't record dev/inode for directories.

Andreas.
