Wow, that's nice to hear. :)

I understand.

Another place to look -- there is a filesystem bug that can sometimes happen
where unlinked files are not recovered.  Here is the comment from an
engineer who knows more about it:

"They can easily tell by looking at the number of unlinked files for the
user partition in /proc/yaffs. If that number is very large, then they can
reboot the device, wait a few second after they see the android, then pull
the battery again. That should make the number of unlinked files drop back
down. If that number isn't very large, then it is probably something else."

Unfortunately it looks like only root cat read /proc/yaffs (though that
seems a little overly restrictive).  However you can try the pulling the
battery trick and see if that helps.

The /data/local directory is owned by the shell user, so you don't need root
for that -- just "cd /data/local" and look at what is there.  There is a
chance that some temp .apk files have been left there from "adb install", or
some other files created by other shell sessions.
