I had a bigger mysterious "missing piece."  My desktop listed 76M and the
files only added up to 56M.  After much inspection, I discovered that 
size 14 point of my helvetica font was 19.6M in size!  I poked at it with
ResEdit, MacTools, etc. and could find nothing recognizable, so I removed it.
Along with it, went many strange crashed, lost finders, and other assorted  
quirks in my system.
