FreeBSD localhost 7.0-RELEASE-p4 FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE-p4 #0: Tue Sep  2 18:48:24 UTC 2008     root at amd64-builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64

>Description:
$ ls -l test1
-rw-r--r--  1 x  y  1048559029 Sep 19 11:52 test1
$ ls -lh test1
-rw-r--r--  1 x  y   1000 Sep 19 11:52 test1

Filesize does not have to be exactly 1048559029 bytes, everything in that range seems to give the same output.

Tested and verified on 3 different systems:
7.0 amd64 using ufs (generic kernel from freebsd-update)
7.0 amd64 using zfs (custom kernel)
6.3 i386 using ufs (jail, custom kernel)
>How-To-Repeat:
You can use my testfile from http://soren.klintrup.dk/ls_display_testfile.bz2

or you can generate your own file by using the command:

dd if=/dev/zero of=ls_display_testfile bs=1000 count=1048564
