This is normal.  Read the document on the 4.2 fast file system.
By default, 10% of the free space on any file system is reserved
to the super user.  `df' hides this space, though not terribly
effectively: all one need do is add up the `used' and `avail' values
and note the discrepancy with `kbytes'.
