Update of bug #36539 (project findutils):
Status: None => Duplicate
Open/Closed: Open => Closed

Follow-up Comment #1:
This is a duplicate of bug 12162. The issue is that the current syntax is
interpreted as 'treat the suffix of the -size argument as block size, then
round the files up to that block size, then filter based on larger or smaller
than the boundary'. Thus, -size -50k says to find files less than 50 * (1024)
when rounded to 1024 blocks, while -size -1M says to find files less than 1 *
(1024*1024) when rounded to (1024*1024) blocks. 50k rounds up to 1M, so it is
not less than 1 block of size 1M per block.
This is not intuitive, but changing it might break existing syntax.
Suggestions on how to proceed are welcome.
