I noticed this when I moved from 1.4.x to 1.5.x; it seems to run up
the count when it reads the directory to get the list of files, not
when it reads and parses the individual files. I find it sufficiently
annoying that it's on my list to root around and "fix" it, but not
quite annoying enough that I've done it yet.
