Well, I have a horror story, but after reading John's message, I am ready
to accept that it was probably my fault.  The system was still running in
multiuser mode, smgr, ph and everything else, and the filesystem was
mounted.  Anyway the symptom was that the filenames were there, but the
contents were (apparently) scrambled.  Each time I typed a command (ls,
cat, etc) it would act as though the file was a shell script and not an
executable, and complain about illegal characters.
