mkinitrd weirdness

[Net Llama!]

Earlier today I had a Redhat EL 4 (Update 1) box where I had built a
2.6.12.1 kernel.

Each time I'd run mkinitrd to build the initrd for that new kernel, the
resulting initrd was a different size.  This was with the same command,
run one time after another.  The size differed by just a few bytes each
time, but it made no sense.

Anyone know of any good reasons why this could be happening?
