Then the documentation needs to be corrected. Here's the exerpt:

"lsearch: The given file is a text file that is searched linearly for a
line beginning with the search key, terminated by a colon or white space
or the end of the line."

My keys are terminated with a newline.

And it did go away. I just built 4.42, and the problem is now gone.
Removing lsearch from 4.33 didn't do anything, but it did with 4.42.
Thanks. Oddly enough, I would have upgraded to 4.4x, but I didn't see
anything about the new caching code in the changelogs...
