  That's weird but the mistake is understandable.
The man page (Fedora 9 maybe it was updated) states:

-----------------------------------------------------------------
      The st_blocks field indicates the number of  blocks  allocated to  the
      file,  512-byte  units.  (This may be smaller than st_size/512 when the
      file has holes.)
-----------------------------------------------------------------

  that's even worse I think.

  Looks fine to me, I wonder if that will work correctly on solaris for
example.
  Coding wise I'm just a bit surprized with the declaration in the
middle of a block, but I probably need to get over it :-)
