** Bug fixes
+ ls's -k option no longer affects how ls -l outputs file sizes.
+ It now affects only the per-directory block counts written by -l,
+ and the sizes written by -s. This is for compatibility with BSD
+ and with POSIX 2008. Because -k is no longer equivalent to
+ --block-size=1KiB, a new long option --kibibyte stands for -k.
+ [bug introduced in coreutils-4.5.4]
+
rm -rf DIR would fail with "Device or resource busy" on Cygwin with NWFS
and NcFsd file systems. This did not affect Unix/Linux-based kernels.
[bug introduced in coreutils-8.0, when rm began using fts]
