Well, the most honest answer that I can give is that I did this so long ago
that I just don't remember.

I wonder if it was a reluctance to add another chdir.  I would be.
Without some careful investigation into all of the other chdir's,
I wouldn't be surprised if they could stomp on each other.

We're in year 17 of this addition to nmh

Wow.
