I wouldn't use the word "Fixed." Try this one a V8.3 system;

$ set process/units=block
$ dir/size/width=size=2 ! if the size is over 100 blocks you get **
which is what we should get
$ set process/units=byte
$ dir/size/width=size=2 ! The "fix" is to ignore the /width=size=2

The help says that the default for the size field is 7 characters, but
count the characters in this display;
$ set process/units=byte
$ dir/size dka0.bck;
