Is NFD so rare?  The ChromeOS bug [http://code.google.com/p/chromium-os/issues/detail?id=26028] has multiple reports from different users and several different sources of paths.  Granted, several were from screen captures, so there's probably a single screencapture app that's causing 2-3 of the reports, but there were other sources as well.
