Hello, folks!

I got a little problem with  a "ghost file". It appears when I  list the
contents of  a directory, but  it can't be accessed  in any way  - every
program tells  me it doesn't  exist. It can't  even be removed.  But the
directory (only containing that file) cannot be removed because it's not
empty. And I can even create another  file with the same name which then
appears  twice. Seems  to me  like  a file  system corruption  due to  a
missing shutdown before the plug was pulled.

Any help?
