Different invocation. Your test and the OP used "-size -1G" (which
_should_ report files less than 1G but apparently reports only 0-byte
files). The reply above was "-size 1G" which _should_ match files that
are exactly 1G in size but according to the above does what "-size -1G"
is supposed to do..

I seem to see behaviour on f12 consistent with both of these reports
(-1G gives 0-byte files, 1G gives <1G files).
