We've always output bytes. I'd have noticed the discrepancy myself if
I'd read the actual docs ;-)

KB would be more useful. And I don't think people have enough scripts
built on this yet to make this break anything. We should backport to 8.4.

We can still output bytes, no problem. The issue is that the parameter
is actually measured in bytes, whereas the docs say kilobytes, so you
get much more log output than you were expecting.

OK

I think most people are doing what I was doing: looking at the values in
the logs, and writing math appropriately. Most of the other log output
isn't documented well, and the output values are obviously bytes, so
frankly it never occurred to me to check the docs.

Agreed that backporting the fix to 8.3 and 8.4 is infeasible.
