The -P option uses a block size of 1024 when it should be using 512
unless the block size is explicitly given. From the man page:

      -P     Output  in  six  columns, with heading `Filesystem N-blocks Used
              Available Capacity Mounted on' (with N=512, but N=1024 when  the
              -k option is given).

But when you run "df -P" the output says:
Filesystem         1024-blocks      Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/hda3             76069416  37835316  38234100      50% /

In BSD it correctly uses a 512 block size.

As per the manpage and Info documentation, just use

POSIXLY_CORRECT=1 df  -P
