And curiously enough, I just ran pathalias and discovered that it now takes
just under 4Mb to finish (though that is with the debugging mode enabled,
because I've been getting bus errors and want to discover why!).  Just a
couple of weeks ago, it was more like 2Mb.  Does anyone know why the maps
suddenly got more complicated?  Curiously enough, the resulting palias file
is only about 4% larger (896K versus 864K).
