        We've recently had to do a system-wide purge of old files
to release some space on one of our RA81 user disks.  Someone
brought to my attention that when he does a $dir/siz/total [...]
from his root directory, the total blocks shown are 2,000 blocks
less than $show quota displays.  Now, I've always noticed a
slight difference between the two outputs, but 2,000 blocks on
a 5,000 block total disk usage?   Will this affect what I see as
free space from a $show device d command?  Who's correct, $dir or $show quota?
