Then what is the quantity you used for the first relationship above?  Was 
it the used space?

No, that possibility can be ruled out: no port, let alone library 
function, used FAT32-specific calls until Martin introduced FAT32
support lately, after v2.03 was released.  In particular, `df'
doesn't support FAT32 in any port of Fileutils 3.16, including the
latest binaries prepared by Juan, which are now on SimTel.NET.
