it tries to stat /proc/kcore currently. no procfs and it'll fail to
get a good number... I've thought about other approaches, too, but since
this is just a fall-back mechanism when the person doesn't specify a size
(like they should), I don't give it much worry. Patches always welcome,
though, of course :)

I've thought about parsing df output of the $dir and clamping on that,
but I haven't gotten around to it yet.
Keep in mind, this is still all fall-back... you should be passing the
right value in the first place :)
