The man page for split says:
Split reads file and writes it in n-line pieces or n*10
character pieces (if the file is not a text file), as many
as necessary, onto a set of output files. n defaults to
1000.
This is incorrect. In fact, if the file is not text, it writes it in
n*1024 character pieces. n defaults to 1000 for text files, but 10
for binary files (10K chunks).
