Bug description:
Binary package hint: mc

In lucid lynx mc reports erroneous directory sizes even between two consecutive invocations.
It also seems to try to cache the results somewhere, but it is not reliable at all.
How to reproduce :  
F9, Command,Show directory sizes.
repeat (eventually sort by sizes in between)
Observe how the directory sizes change from one invocation to another.
