Just a WAG here Mike, but if the file has more shorter records,  wouldn't
the number of pointer blocks go up?  I haven't looked at DISKSIZE in
ages but would assume that it uses an average record size to estimate
the number of pointer blocks, and that average is way off for this file

Also, just IMHO, if its a "critical" production file, you should add a
bit to the DISKSIZE estimate for a safety factor.
