I first deduced the value by correlating st_blocks with
st_size, and the output of "du -k", respectively.
Searched documentation about the correct value and found
an old support call stating
"Anyway, st_blocks is measured in DEV_BSIZE units (sys/param.h),
which on HPUX is 1k."
Maybe this is the answer also for other platforms? At least
on Linux and Solaris /usr/include/sys/param.h also contained
correct values (512). On AIX it is in /usr/include/sys/dir.h.
