Hello, When I run "du -b dir" several times with the same directory as input, sometimes I get a smaller size the first time I run it than the subsequent times I run it. I.e. the second, third, fourth, etc. try will all return identical sizes, but the first is smaller. The difference in size is always a multiple of 4096. Doesn't happen if the input is a file. Only if it's a directory. The more subdirectories it has, the larger the difference.
Does anyone know what might be causing this? The error appears using either cygwin 1.7.1-1 or 1.5, on both Windows Vista & on Windows 7. It does NOT happen on Windows XP with cygwin 1.5, though. (Yes, I know there was a question on this list with a similar subject, but the question was different.) Thank you.
