Yes, this is closer to what I'd expect - although I was expecting a few 
more 9s on the end ;)

I'm genuinely interested to know what practical problem is being solved 
by these extra files.  I can think of a number of 'purity' arguments why 
they might appear desirable, but still having trouble coming up with a

to be enlightened so I can concede my ignorance :)
