_Could_ be slack space. I'm not quite convinced mind you. However,
iirc ext3 uses 4k blocks, so if you have an average file size of 2k,
each file will take up 4k anyway. Plus, if a file is 4097 bytes
according to stat(), it will take up 8192 bytes of space.
Not to say I'm definitely right, but it's a working theory.
