(df_readable): Now returns char const *, not char *.
New arg NEGATIVE.
(ceil_percent): Now returns double, not int.
Be more careful about adding 1 to a wild value.
(show_dev): Don't filter out wild sizes from the underlying operating
system; instead, show them to the user as faithfully as possible.

(recheck): Handle a race condition (including <dev,inode>
reuse) that would lead to a failed assertion.
Reported by Ken Pizzini.
(tail_forever): Record errno before using it in call to `error'
which might change it.
(tail_file): Likewise.

(AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_FLAGS): Work around a
problem with the QNX 4.25 shell, which doesn't propagate exit
status of failed commands inside shell assignments.

(S_IRWXUGO): Define if necessary.
(main): Use chmod to set the permissions if bits other than those
of S_IRWXUGO were requested. Reported by Sami Farin.

(touch): Don't fail just because we couldn't open
an existing file. This makes it so that touching a read-only
file now works. Also clean up and simplify.
Based on a patch from Chip Salzenberg.

(print_nth_dir): Write one fewer byte so we don't print a trailing slash.
(rm): Fix bugs in (and test, this time) the very-rarely-used code
to warn about directory cycles.

(copy_internal): Treat src and dest as the `same' in
`mv src symlink-to-src' when src and dest are on different partitions.
Otherwise, that `mv' command would silently remove `src'.

(make_path): Fix long-latent bug (note others
just like it were fixed in 1998-01-02).
A user (FIXME, who?) reported that using `install -d -g foo 1/2`
only sets the group on the intermediate directory, not the final
component. From Michael Stone.

(default_block_size): New function.
(humblock): Use it if no block size is specified.
(human_block_size): If the specified block size is zero, report an
error if report_errors is nonzero; otherwise use the default.

(xstat): New global.
(main): Define it.
(change_file_group): Use it. Before this change, when running chgrp
on a symlink without --dereference (-h) and when the requested group
is the same as the group for the *symlink*, chgrp would do nothing.
Now it changes the group of the file referenced through the symlink.
