Problems in Patent Reference Land

Now that I have the uspto's patent references in my database I can do fun things like find ones where the dates and names match but the patent numbers are different. I'm guessing these amount to typos in the uspto's database. For the first one an advanced search at uspto.gov for ref/Chapman and ref/5137055 finds that the typo is in patent 6,454,552 (scroll down to see the second patent cited). In a couple of cases noted below both references are wrong (yes I'm crazy enough to check the ones shown here!). A similar advanced search finds D555,369 citing Chapman's patent incorrectly as 136,652 (first patent cited).

There are also typos in the names. Just ask Mr. Johnstn referenced first in 5,133,165. More typos are listed here. Additional problems are listed here.
