As a followup to my own followup, the CD-From-Hell(tm) which started this
whole thread (from O'Reilly, as the companion to Tcl/Tk Tools) fails to
read properly under 2.0.31. The problems are deep enough in the directory
hierarchy that I didn't see them until running diffs between ls -alR
dumps (which as was pointed out, I should have done to begin with).

After Gordon's latest patches it seems 100% correct under 2.1.60. Now I'm
glad I brought this up!
