Dear Mr. Li:
	Perhaps you know best.
	Me, I will not use Fn 37; I have seen too many disk
directories trashed.
	Re: how, it is NOT triggered ONLY by writing to
improperly opened/closed files.  There is NO (known to me)
simple algorithm for preventing the fn 37 bug from biting you,
even taking meticulous care.  Or so say several sources I trust.
	You are welcome to continue using fn 37 with its
undocumented features.  My apologies for bringing up the
subject. 
	I really ought to know better by now.
