the unusual case mentioned, which does point out a performance gaffe, can
be helped.  until i can submit a patch, changing CTHRESH to be lower, say

	#define CTHRESH 3000

and the line

	if (!grepflag && pctmatch > PUNTPERCENT && file != NULL) {

to
	if (pctmatch > PUNTPERCENT && file != NULL) {

should aid such searches.
