Thanks to all who replied.  I don't know how it happened, but from the Cshell,
a user created a subdirectory with the name '\0'.  The solution I am trying
is to use clri to remove the bad entry, and rely on fsck to clean up
afterwards.  Of course, I am making a full backup first!  On my Unisoft
Sys Vr2 based machine, I would have tried fsdb (file system debugger)
first, but in SunOS 3.5 there appears to be no such beast.

Thanks to:
