The following three lines are taken from the man page for find(1) on SunOS 4.1,
and are the entire discussion about the size qualifier.  My interpretation is
that the + syntax doesn't work on SunOS, at least.  I wouldn't care to generalize
to other flavors of Unix...

     -size n        True if the file is n blocks long (512  bytes
                    per  block).   If  n  is followed by a c, the
                    size is in characters.
