Can anyone tell me in an unambiguous manner just how many bytes
are in the following System V (2.?) "blocks"?  Make any assumptions
uou like, if it makes a difference.  I have yet to see a clear
reference on this matter.  (BSD people stop laughing, I'll bet you're
not much better off!)

	BUFSIZ
	ls -s
	du
	df
	tar -b
	cpio -B
	mkfs
	fsck
	fsdb

	and so forth - I'm sure I missed some ...
