Some senseless babbling from Jonathan De Boyne Pollard to Mike Ruskai
on 10-22-99  08:20 about HPFS freespace bmp list...

No, I didn't forget it, and I didn't include it.  It doesn't affect
freespace for files (as far as I can tell, that is), which is all that I'm
checking.

Is my assumption correct, in that regard?
