What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. In a rooted phone, use Link2SD to  move application. The apk is moved to SD; 
/data holds only a symbolic link to it.
2. Enter disk usage and scan /data
3. Locate the moved application

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Since the apk has been moved, and only a symbolic link remains, it shoultake a 
tiny amount of space. But the program reports it as if the file were still 
there. 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
DiskUsage 3.3.2 on Android 2.3.5

Please provide any additional information below.

Good point. With moving files with Link2SD off the /data folder, the numbers
in DiskUsage are not "real" anymore.
Bug or feature? Depends by taste ;) Sometimes I want to see the size of an app, 
but
sometimes the real used space on /data. It's not really a defect; and it's not 
a wish concert here, but if I could give a comment on this great free little 
tool, it would be a +1 to a function of detecting <lnk>-files. :-) Daniel.
