Thanks for the report. According to 'dd --help', "MB 1000*1000, M 1024*1024", so the result matches documentation. However, some of the coreutils (such as ls) support --human-readable vs. --si to choose between power of 10^3 and power of 2^10, maybe it would be worth adding such an option to dd. Also, you may want to consider upgrading - the latest stable version is 6.7. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
