  Over the past few days I have been fighting with a strange guru on my
Amiga 2000.  It would show up on various occasions: when mounting JH0: (my
Amiga partition of an IBM hard drive), or after my startup-sequence was
done, I end up in Matt Dillon's shell 2.07 and when I quit it would guru.
Then I even got it twice when I tried to erase a file while doing some
routine file maintenance on my BBS (which brings up another question later).
The guru numbers were:
         1)  8700000B.265F48F1
         2)  87000008.265F48F1

ShowGuru says that they are DEADEND, generated by the DOS LIBRARY and 1) is
"key out of range" and 2) is "key already free".  I made a totally new startup
disk from scratch and I have not received a guru since then.  Could someone
enlighten me as to what could have caused this so that I know what to look for
in the future.  It took me quite a while to make a new boot disk (my backup
didn't work either) and if there an easier way, I would like to know.  Any
help would be appreciated greatly (Mail, of course).  Thank you in advance.

Now here is my other question:

  After one of the above mentioned gurus a strange thing happened.  A file
appeared in the directory I had been working in and I can't move it or rename
it or copy it or do anything to it except that it shows up in the listing.
Also, I had a directory called 'temp' and now whenever I make a directory
called 'temp' in that directory, it doesn't show up.  Anyone care to comment?
I don't know what to do.  Any help would again be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Jon
