Your reply had me go fsck both my partitions, / and /home. The /
partition had no errors, but the /home partition had a few, which could
account for about 1% of the 12187 files reported by tiger. The other 99%
are still unaccounted for, though.

# pwck -r
user news: directory /var/spool/news does not exist
user uucp: directory /var/spool/uucp does not exist
user majordom: directory /usr/lib/majordomo does not exist
user postgres: directory /var/lib/postgres does not exist

pwck: no changes
Although I'd rather not get any messages from any checking program,
these seem to be harmless and unrelated to the issue.
Visual inspection of passwd and shadow doesn't help, both look OK.
Any more thoughts?
