Bump...

So I've also seen a HUGE jump in my Linux footprint 27MB!   YES that's 27MB!

I'm trying to hunt that down but I'd really like to understand why the 
Makefile for applet_tables.c (and probably others) doesn't have the 
right paths.  I'll hunt it down eventually but if someone else has seen 
this I'd like a hint.

thanks.
