That would depend very much on your locale...

I think mine's set at LANG=en_IN.UTF-8

It's the locale that determines how the digits are to be separated.  If your is "C", then no donuts for you. :D

Try something like.. LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 BLOCKSIZE="'4096" ls -l...

Hey, I also notice that the ".UTF-8" part DOES indeed makes the difference. Any idea why?

LANG=en_GB is NOT the same as LANG=en_GB.UTF-8

Wonderingly,
