archive size computed incorrectly on net-mounted filesystem

That's interesting, but aren't you basically just admitting that this is a problem with your system returning incorrect sizes, instead of with makeself itself? I'm pretty sure that --block-size option is not available outside of GNU ls. Actually, even the BSD version that comes with OS X doesn't support it so I would be reluctant to use that as an alternative.

Of course you're right about the portability issue.

I have no other network mount to test on, therefore no way to know if this is just a problem with my network share on OSX (a VMWARE share, actually, so VMWare hypervisor could be part of it). I probably just should have dropped you a note instead of opening a bug report. In any case, consider it something you might want to test independently.

If it's reproduceable on other network mounts, then it probably should be considered a bug.

Thanks for your time.
