Specially this will pop up when processing USENET news. Sooner or later you'll be biten with this problem. The cure is to umount, fsck and mount the filesystem again. -- -------------------------------------------------------------- Petri Helenius, Fimeko-Data Oy Phone +358-0-458 2421 ----------------------------------!
