My machine crashed when I was installing (UnStuffing) MacInTax.  When the
machine came back up one of the application folders was created.  Inside the
folder there is another folder (just like its parent) and inside this folder
there is another folder, and inside this folder there is another folder,
ad infinitum . . .

Looks like the section of the folder that points to its contents its pointing 
to itself in a recursive chain (this is my guess).  Any clues?

I tried throwing the folder in the trash and the finder said it couldn't do it
because it was out of memory.  I increased the memory for the Finder to
2.5 Megs and still got the same problem.  I used Disk First Aid, MacTools,
and the utility that comes in the system disk to no avail.  My guess is that I
will have to edit some bits, but which ones?

Help!
Thanks,

-Pablo
