 The FreeBSD man page says:

     {{{
     -P Use POSIX compliant output of 512-byte blocks rather than
         the default.  Note that this overrides the BLOCKSIZE
         specification from the environment.
     }}}

 That sounds like there need to be more changes to the script to deal
 with that (and it's unclear I guess whether -P also prevents wrappin
 on FreeBSD?).

 I'd be fine still including this into 1.5.2 but we need a version of
 the script that works on Linux, FreeBSD, and OSX, if necessary with
 treating them separately as in "top".
