Hello.

According to SUSv2 'struct stat' should contain an st_blocks member, which is
the number of blocks allocated for the object.

Unless people think it's a good idea to add st_blocks, I'm not going to write
a patch, because it will break backwards binary compatibility.

coreutils 4.5.4 uses st_blocks in the 'stat' program.

Bye, Rich =]
