Looking at the code, the block size computation appears to be
different on each platform, and no platform appears to be completely
consistent with the quota management system. (The discrepancy in your
case was only two blocks between the "fs lq" output and the Solaris
"du -s" output, but in the case of my home directory, for instance,
it's 22 blocks.)
I doubt that reporting this misfeature to Transarc would result in any
changes; it appears to be a design flaw, not a bug.
