That sounded quite plausible - seeing as I was testing in an emacs CVS 
source tree checkout and all. Though it was only in /usr/local/src/emacs 
- and /usr/local is the same fs as / on my desktop.

So I redid in the emacs-22.3 expanded source tarball (no ./CVS ?)
in /usr/local/src/emacs-22-3  (187 .c files this time)

Er. Maybe I should use a bigger corpus... - so, did all .el files (1108 
files).
