Package: findutils
Version: 4.4.2-9+b1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/find

Dear Maintainer,

The "find" utility behaves strangely when using a max size argument with "1" as
a unit.

See the following script :

 #!/bin/sh
 mkdir test
 touch test/foo
 echo "bar" > test/bar
 find test -size -2b > temp0
 find test -size -1k > temp1
 diff temp0 temp1

(-2b and -1k should be equivalent according to the manual)

However, diff returns a difference between temp0 and temp1. In temp0, test/bar
and test/foo are found.
In temp1, only "test/foo" is "found" by find.

The same issue happens with -1M, -1G etc.

Strange...
