I've looked at your actual results this time :-) The problem appears to be that your filesystem (BTW, which type is it?) requires zero blocks for files like a/b/c that are small enough. I think I've fixed the test script for next time by requiring that the blocksize and block-count match for files as well as for directories. So on your system, the new du/basic test would be skipped. But maybe I can do better: Would you please find out how big a file has to be in order to get a non-zero block count? Then I'll change the test so that the files it uses are at least that big.
