This isn't normal, to the right of "root" you'll see the link count. Since the link count is 1, you are using 802k for EACH of these binaries in /stand.

It's counting each binary as 802k, which > they aren't. Actually du will 'do the right thing' when you have hard-linked binaries. Yours is showing 40M because you are really using 40M. Sujal
