Dear,
when you do ls -l -h one sometimes encounters files which have kilo size.
ls -l -h then uses "K" to display this. This is wrong and unallowable.
It must be "k". You don't have a choice: it is standarised by the SI
system as "k". See for example http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SI .
Standards have to be respected regardless of personal preferences.
I don't know if this error also occurs for other coreutils.
Best regards,
Francky Leyn
