Comment:

 The logic in the new patch is also var too obtuse (and fragile).

 Hypothetically, this function should indeed work for any human-readable
 size value, based on what it is named and currently documented. This works
 fine for values using "K", "KB", or "KiB" etc. It should hypothetically be
 able to convert a 500GB hard drive to bytes. But in practice, if this
 fails on a 32-bit system, I don't really care.
