df (GNU fileutils) 4.0, --block-size=0

[Olli Kihlberg]

Hi,

This is not really a bug, but...

I'm using df from GNU fileutils 4.0. (And I don't have possibility to
test 4.1 on this machine.) I noticed that if I use (obviously stupid)
argument zero as --block-size, df will dump core:

------------------------------------------------------------

% df --block-size=0 /opt    
Filesystem            0-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
Floating point exception (core dumped)

------------------------------------------------------------

There is no point to use zero as block size, but it would be trivial
to test it, wouldn't it. Utilities shouldn't crash, no matter how
stupid the user might be.

I'm sorry to have bothered you with such a trivial matter if this has
already been addressed in 4.1.
