I'm quite sure this isn't the case - I have TOS 1.4, and am only one level
deep in one partition when it happens. It seems to be that when I see this
behavior I am trying to delete a folder called "AUTO" (inside a folder called
"FALCON" on my 'F' drive). Perhaps Gemini is linked in somehow to the name
"AUTO" (similar to how you can't delete DCSHOWIT.PRG until you reboot without
executing it)?
