We must have had a failed write there, I found an empty directory, that should have been a file by the semantics, quite strange. Fortunately I could simply delete it and now everything seems to be fine. Thanks a lot for the pointer. Markus -- My key: http://users.minet.uni-jena.de/~veelai/veelai.gpg -- For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much---the wheel, New York, wars and so on---while all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man---for precisely the same reasons.
