not really a small hard drive. network administrators stingy with server space.

anyway, project/clean up didn't help and neither did packing the class libraries

i was getting ready to yank it out of source safe thinking that was the culprit, but
i got a coworker to compile it for me and it went to the correct size( at this point it had grown an extra 400K on my machine ).
after he compiled i can compile on my machine and it comes out correctly.

i tried to break it again but no luck ( thank goodness )

i am worried that it may manifest itself again but at least it's behaving right now.
