Thanks!
Yes and yes ;-)

Good point!
Supporting this boils down to:

diff --git a/src/du.c b/src/du.c
index 5c74285..60b91b8 100644
--- a/src/du.c

       if (opt_threshold < 0
-          ? dui_to_print.size <= -opt_threshold

         print_size (&dui_to_print, file);
     }

Attached is the amended patch: I also changed coreutils.texi and
tests/du/inodes.sh accordingly.

Do you think that the description of --threshold should be adapted?
I mean, the word "SIZE" may be misleading.  Well, I think it's quite
okay ... ;-)

Have a nice day,
