FileSystemDirectoryEntry>>#size may be wrong/misleading for symLinks

Paul DeBruicker
This is on Pharo 5, on a mac.


It reports the size of the symlink and not the linked file.  So when I'd expect a size around 70kB its reporting 51B.  



Is there a way to get the size of the linked file?  



doing a 'reference contents size' isn't giving me the correct size either.  In some cases it is off by hundreds of bytes.  

Thanks

Paul
