After spending hours trying to fix this mysterious filesystem "corruption," I got home and plugged it into the original machine. Everything was back to normal. I speculated at the time that the byte order of the machine was somehow affecting filename encoding. In hindsight, this doesn't make a lot of sense to me (UTF-8 defines byte order). Some bug in userspace? I don't know. -Forest -- Forest Bond http://www.alittletooquiet.net http://www.pytagsfs.org
