Hello,

 I am not so sure that this is a bug but a limitation. I am using "du"
for a disk file listing/usage in the command:

du --all --time --human-readable --apparent-size $1;
printf "Total number of files: ";  find $1 -type f | wc -l;

But it seems to maximum out the file count to 38341

 So I am thinking that this is a limitation to the counter in "wc"?

 Just to let you know I have a script that takes a picture every minute
and stores it to a 1TB HD and deletes anything older than 31 days.
Total file count should be near 2,678,400 files.

73,
Ben ARS w4qed
