Hi,

I have a question about behavior of ls(1) with `-h' flag. It shows
like follows:

  % ls -lh /
  total 7666
  -r--r--r--   1 root  wheel       4K Apr 21  2001 COPYRIGHT
  drwxr-xr-x   2 root  wheel       1K May 28 15:40 bin/
  drwxr-xr-x   3 root  wheel     512B May 28 15:51 boot/
  lrwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel      11B May  5  2001 compat@ -> /usr/compat
  ...

but, src/release/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/relnotes/common/new.sgml describes

  "ls(1) now accepts a -h flag, which when combined with the -l flag,
  causes file sizes to be printed with unit suffixes, such that the
  number of digits printed is less than three."

I think "the number of digits printed is less than three" means that
"digits are 1 and 2, not include 3". Is this a typo? If so, apply next
patch.
# Sorry if I'm understaning.
