You need to pick all! The first one, src-5.0001.gz, is a huge file and
is the "initial segment" of the src-5 release train. The other files
are "deltas" against it, and build on top of each other, so you have to
apply all files in sequence. Use:

ctm -u -b /usr/src src-5.????.gz

to unpack all of them in the correct sequence to the (empty!)
directory /usr/src. Note that ctm automatically creates a file
/usr/src/.ctm_status that contains the number of the last delta applied,
so effectively ctm would not re-apply deltas that already have been
applied.
