According to http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/Block-size.html the environment variable POSIXLY_CORRECT sets the block size of ls to 512 in certain cases. This is not currently the case. The patch in which this behavior was disabled is http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2004-06/msg00050.html

Could you please give a specific example
that illustrates where the manual is wrong?

This particular problem is bugging me quite a bit.  It makes inferior
python mode useless to me.  The behavior for me is this:

emacs -Q
M-x run-python

At this point, emacs hangs at 100% on one CPU.  After C-g I am in a
*Python* Inferior Python buffer.  At this point if I type a python
expression (4, for example), emacs hangs.  I have to type C-g at least 3
times in order to get the return value.  Note the type of messages I get
when typing C-g in "Recent messages" below:

Based on the subject line, it looks like you meant to send this to bug
12645 (an emacs bug), but instead ended up attaching unrelated
information to bug 12642 (a coreutils bug).  It would help if you tried
sending this information again to the correct address.
