Hm,  this seems to be a bug in kpsewhere - shouldn't it find only one
instance per TEXMF tree?  However, on my system I even get more:

$ kpsewhere ecbx1000.tfm
/var/cache/fonts/tfm/jknappen/ec/ecbx1000.tfm
/var/cache/fonts/tfm/jknappen/ec/ecbx1000.tfm
/var/cache/fonts/tfm/jknappen/ec/ecbx1000.tfm
/var/cache/fonts/tfm/jknappen/ec/ecbx1000.tfm
/var/cache/fonts/tfm/jknappen/ec/ecbx1000.tfm
/var/cache/fonts/tfm/jknappen/ec/ecbx1000.tfm
/var/cache/fonts/tfm/jknappen/ec/ecbx1000.tfm
/var/cache/fonts/tfm/jknappen/ec/ecbx1000.tfm

The last two last much longer than the first ones.
