Thanks, Alan. My hard drive usage after doing a fsck -cfy dropped 4%...and 
yet, no warnings from it; it did note that it modified things, but didn't 
say what. Mission accomplished...again, thank you very much!

P.S. Koji is MUCH faster now. I don't know what you guys did to it 
yesterday whilst it was down for maintenance, but that was getting 
annoying, going to the website and waiting up to a minute for it to load, 
and then another 20-30 seconds for an additional page to come up. Kudos!
