Well, you've just heard one :-)

In fact, this problem has intermittently bitten me for more than one
year now, but only now did I realize what it was.  I usually untar emacs
and leim in parallel, in the background, the way I almost always do with
big tar files.

Would it be difficult or anyway problematic to merge emacs and leim
starting with 21.3 instead?
