Err, whoops? No, I was tired and confused. They are not hard links
to directories, that would screw up the universe. Still, lots of hard
linked files.

Err...

the result of this was it processed a few files for a minute or so and
then hung in select() and consumed no cpu and there was no disk
activity. Unfortunately apparently my clang/lldb workflow was broken
and I didn't have functional debugging symbols (...) and I also lost
the stack trace I thought I had (inadequate scrollback), so I'm not
sure what was going on. But at first blush, it appeared that adding -vvvv
made things hang forever.

Removing it, and rerunning, it's now happily trucking along and has
been for the past hour actually doing work.
