I would have tried to exclude the first line messages if I'd thought
of that.  But anyway, the reason for the low Doc number is case
sensitivity. I ran that on a Mac and its lame collation support failed
me in the "sort" step (also -i didn't do what I wanted, but that
wasn't the issue).  Trying again on FreeBSD box and explicitly setting
LANG for the benefit of anyone else wanting to run this (see end), and
then removing a few obvious false matches, I now get similar numbers
in most fields but a higher "doc" number:
