Severity: minor

"SIZE may have a multiplier suffix: b for 512, k for 1K, m for 1 Meg."

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ split foo -b 50M
split: 50M: invalid number of bytes
Try `split --help' for more information.

m is milli, M is mega - if ifconfig is "fixed" to report kiB etc, I think
split should be fixed too, at least it should accept the correct form and
probably change the help text (I imagine milli will be kept for backwards
compatibility ofcourse).
