OK. I've retested now. My DOS CD-ROM driver was hooking INT 21h. It looks like
there is a bug in the port of 'df', because it does not report sizes
correctly, despite statfs returning the right information. (I checked by
building a test program in the sources - it agrees with Explorer.)

BTW shouldn't the docs for statfs, statvfs and fstatvfs list a few programs
that can hook INT 21h? E.g.: CD-ROM drivers. Maybe it should say how to debug
INT 21h hooking? Otherwise it's not very helpful.

I'll take a look at the problem with 'df' sometime.

Thanks, bye, Rich =]
