A few weeks ago I mentioned a bug in SCO XENIX 5 Rel 2.2.1
concerning a directory getting walked on.  Here is an update.

1. It is always the second byte of the 4th file entry in the
   root directory of a filesystem
2. It happens on both the root and mounted file systems
3. It has happened on other computers than the one I have
4. It existed in previous releases of XENIX 5
5. I am almost sure it happens when you run out of inodes on
   that filesystem.
