Yep.  I had one file left over that it printed out to.  I ran equery b 
file/name to see if it belonged to anything and it didn't.  A little rm 
did the trick.

Is there a way to find "cruft"?  Some script or something?  My install 
is pretty old and I would guess there are a few left over files here and 
there.
