applesauce compresses at a negative rate

It should probably not attempt to compress files that are smaller than the file-systems block size.

EDIT: Having read the code I understand that this is only a display error.

I checked with this program. The compressed size is 246, so it is just a display error. It should display the size of the xattr, not the block-size.
