What are you including in these figures?  About a month ago, I
calculated:

                  Table 16-1.  Approximate source tree sizes

                    +-------------------------+-----------+
                    |Component                | Size (MB) |
                    +-------------------------+-----------+
                    |Repository src/sys       |        53 |
                    |Repository src           |       330 |
                    |Repository ports         |        36 |
                    |Source tree /usr/src/sys |        65 |
                    |Source tree /usr/src     |       372 |
                    |Source tree /usr/ports   |       160 |
                    |Object tree src          |       160 |
                    +-------------------------+-----------+

I've just checked /usr/src again:

# du -s /usr/src/ 
383294  /usr/src/

Am I missing something?

Greg
