I found two false positives, although neither of them seems easy to filter for:

* "Sorce" in README is a person's last name, not a typo for "Source".
* "thur" in getdate.y is an abbreviation for "thursday", not a typo for
"their".

This may be an unusual property of the MIT krb5 project, but we ship a bunch of
generated documentation in release tarballs that isn't checked into the
repository. Many of the earlier results in the report are from the generated
documentation, either mirroring a typo from elsewhere in the source code or
simply reflecting a typo in some upstream material included by documentation
tooling.
