	Be careful when using uusquish.  If there are subdirectories,
they are moved to the brand new directory from the temporary directory
via link.  What happens is that the directory entry for .. in the
subdirectory does not agree with the new directory.  An easy way to
see this is to do a du after running uusquish on a test case.
The <Bad directory> message occurs because the chdir ("..") fails.
The inode entry pointed to by .. had been removed in uusquish via
an unlink.

I am trying to write a general squish program fashioned after uusquish,
which was a great idea.  (This should be a standard UN*X utility.)
I haven't figured out the best way to handle the above problem, but
right now it will make sure you don't try to move a mountable file
system from /etc/fstab.  It uses the new -ldir package.  I'll post
it to net.sources when it is done.
