Using dired-listing-switches with a value like "-lh" on
FreeBSD results in an output like the following: 

  -rw-------   1 emf  emf   6.2K Jul 19 22:13 .bash_history
  -rw-r--r--   1 emf  emf   174B Nov 25  2001 .bash_logout
  -rw-r--r--   1 emf  emf   551B Jul  5 22:54 .bash_profile

as you can see small files (under 1K) display sizes with a
'B' suffix. As a consecuence those files cant be selected by
dired and instead an error ("No file on this line") is
signaled. The following patch fixes this behaviour.


$ diff -uF '^(def*' dired.el~ dired.el
