This is a little late, but I just noticed that string_get_size with
STRING_UNITS_10, block size >= 1024 and sufficiently large size seems to
be broken. Yes, 32.7 MB is what it produces, but is it what it should
give? 8192*4096 = 33554432, so I'd expect "33.5 MB". It does give that
when we pass size=65536 and block_size=512; a combination with the same
product.

I think the problem is that the remainder coming out of the while
(blk_size >= divisor[units]) loop is dropped on the floor in the
subsequent size > exp case - but I'm too lazy right now to figure out how
to fix it.
