Apple HD Backup weirdness

I am trying to figure out whether the weirdness I have recently
encountered using the latest release of HD Backup is some quirk
of my configuration (DAs, INITs, CDEVs) or a common bug. PLEASE:
no flames that I should be using Fastback or DiskFit or something
else. I just want something simple and cheap (it came with the
system).

I am running an SE with 1MB of memory and an HD20, absolutely
vanilla-flavored Apple throughout. Since the new system software
release, I have noticed when doing full backups that the estimate
of sides needed is 2-4 sides too low and the 0-100% bar reachs 
100% long before the backup is done (but consistent with the 
number of sides estimate). The number of disks used is distinctly 
higher than seems necessary for the number of bytes HD Backup 
says I need to back up. But then that number is lower than the
number of bytes used by a good amount.

Weird, eh? Comments anyone?

John
