Just FYI: it seems that only FreeBSD's du supports
the -t option (but not the long --threshold) while
OpenBSD does not:

FreeBSD:

  https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/blob/master/usr.bin/du/du.c
OpenBSD:
  http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=du
  http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/usr.bin/du/du.c

Thanks. Here it is.

I did not alias --threshold to a short -t option ... as I
remembered that we should be reluctant to add short options
which are not officially standardised.

Have a nice day,
