>Description:

1) Manpage find(1) -ls description says "size in 512-byte blocks",
where it should have "number of 512-byte file system blocks used".

2) It says "ls -dgils." where it should say "ls -dgils, when the
environment has BLOCKSIZE=512".

3) It says "identical" where it should say
"identical (excepting whitespace)".

>How-To-Repeat:

$ sh -c 'BLOCKSIZE=k ls -dgils /boot/kernel/kernel'
12259 3504 -r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  3569441 Jul 24 10:15 /boot/kernel/kernel

$ find /boot/kernel/ -name kernel -ls
 12259     7008 -r-xr-xr-x    1 root             wheel             3569441 Jul 24 10:15 /boot/kernel/kernel

$ sh -c 'BLOCKSIZE=512 ls -dgils /boot/kernel/kernel'
12259 7008 -r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  3569441 Jul 24 10:15 /boot/kernel/kernel
