Sysinternals Disk Usage (DU) missreports directory sizes

Question

BUG REPORT:

It seems that du doesn't report the correct size of directories.

Example: The size of C:\Users\public is 741 MB on my machine. DU disagrees:

C:\Users>du public
DU v1.62 - Directory disk usage reporter

Files:        757
Directories:  227
Size:         741 bytes
Size on disk: 744 bytes

It seems like somewhere the information that the 741 is in units of MB is getting lost.

When running in CSV mode, the information is still there:

C:\Users>du -c public

"C:\Users\public",1,174,757,227,741024814,744308736

This could maybe be related to German localization, because of different separating and grouping symbols for large numbers.
