i've run into a problem with my mac II that i am unable to solve.  I
am unable to remove, rename or modify a particular folder on my
desktop.  somehow the file system on this hard disk has become
corrupted.  i'm certain the problem is not the disk drive.

when i do try to perform operations on this folder, the mac claims
that the folder is busy.  worse... i am getting "no more memory"
errors from my jasmine direct tape utility while setting up the dump
parameters.  i cannot rebuild the desktop since doing so also
generates out of memory errors.  i was hoping that rebuilding the
desktop would allow me to remove the wierd folder.

i have 8 meg of memory on my machine by the way, and  140 meg hard
disk.

any suggestions to correcting this problem?
