Bug; should be '$SIZE/'
No this is perfectly valid

Yes, that works, but it's not our usual style. However, the point is
moot as that whole block should be reduced down to:

SIZE=$(( `fetch -s "${FETCHFILE}"` / 1024 ))

The KNF rule that there shall be spaces around binary operators should
probably apply in shell expressions too, but I don't like the spaces
on 1 side of (( and )).  Shell syntax doesn't even allow spaces between
'$' ((.

The rc.d style seems to be to use backquotes and not use $(cmd), but I
prefer the opposite except possibly in shell expressions like the above
so that it is easier to separate the commands from the shell expressions.

If SIZEFILE is needed elsewhere that's a different matter, but as it is
that's a hot mess.
