FileStatus.getLen(): bug in documentation or bug in implememtation?

Hi all
I try get length of file hadoop(RawFilesysten or hdfs) .
In javadoc method  org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileStatus.getLen()  writtend that
this method "return the length of this file, in blocks"
But method return size in bytes.

Is this bug in documentation or implememtation?
I use  hadoop-0.18.3.

Documentation is wrong. Implementation wins.
Could you please file a bug.

Thanks,
