OK, thanks, I installed this (revised) patch into coreutils, which I

No, if you're going to use the statvfs block size you need to pull the other numbers from statvfs also. IOW, just add another flag (-F?) to use statvfs instead of statfs. I don't know of any assurance that they the two sets of numbers will be the same. (And since this entire thread is about the possibility that something might be ambiguous on some implementation somewhere, it doesn't make sense to make an assumption.)
