Amazing. Now, of course, we have

-rwxr-xr-x  1 bin      bin         45056 May 10  1989 /bin/sh
-rwxr-xr-x  2 bin      bin        110592 Apr 14  1988 /bin/csh
-rwxr-xr-x  2 bin      bin        120832 Apr 14  1988 /bin/tcsh

This is interesting in light of the discussion in 
wizards re: "code bloat".
