You will note that there are two files with identical names.

I can view them using 'more' and they are indeed two different
files.  I haven't done anything else with them yet (I'll 'cat'
them to another file if I can) but I can't figure out how this
can happen.

Ideas?

I swear that, other than shortening it, I have not modified this
listing in any way.
