Thanks - I forgot all about that.

Yes, I thought about that and decided it wasn't worth worrying about.
As Kernighan and Plauger say: first get it right, then make it fast; and
as we just saw, it wasn't right :-). But for typical setups - a few
files or a few dozen files - I don't think it's going to make much
difference. OTOH, if one has thousands of agenda files, then one
probably has much worse problems than this.
