You seem to have a different "etc01" than the rest of the world. From the
cpio directory listing the only thing that has "emacs" in its path is
the emacs.el mode for perl-4.019. Another check for finding the numerous
".el" and ".elc" files only find few additional ones in perl and cvs 
directories. Where did you get your "etc.01"? Seems that someone has 
mixed together "official" and "unofficial" stuff. No such addition has
been posted to c.u.b yet.
