CentOS - Mar 2010 - find /etc -size -1G return only empty files

Hello
find /etc -size -1G

should return all files less than 1Giga byte in /etc, but return a
list of empty file (size=0)

find /etc -size -2G

work fine and return all the files

This works the same  on my fedora11 and my centos 5 !

Did I miss something or is it a bug ?

Regards

not sure, but:
-1  strictly less than one, being an int that has got to be zero.
G   unit is GB.

Very interesting way of finding all files with a file size of 0 ;-)
