   Has anyone ever had a device name changed to only a colon?  I've
encountered this several times (ie: "dh9:" becomes ":") and it's quite
annoying.  I've even uploaded some archives to a board from a partition
only to find that partition yanked from me when I go to send another file.
You can still access the partition by it's volume name, but INFO and XOPER
all show the unit as ":".  Since I'm running virtually everything over here
(KS1.2, OS1.3, ARP1.3, SCSIDOS 3.0), I don't really have a clue as to what
program is causing this problem.  BTW: it's not that frequent - maybe only
7 times in the last year, but just annoying (and somewhat interesting ;)
