Speaking of strange error messages, does anybody remember the message
printed by 'rm' on ancient unix (V6) when trying to remove a file whose
name begins with '.' :

	elements of B will give rise to dom

B above was actually ^N B ^O which according to /usr/pub/greek should
print as beta on tty37 terminals.  This message was intended to prevent
the user from removing '.' and '..';  however I could never find out
what it meant.  Any old unix hands out there?
