Environment: 1.15.12, N_aes, Thing registered,

Noticed a downloaded file was munged, and checked the file system 
on a work disk on the same spindle as my MiNT drive.

Each .. parent directory had, immediately following it, a .< 
directory, with copies of the main directory files. This is a one 
bit error repeated many times, and something fsck was not written 
to deal with. I ran it dozens of times, out of curiousity, and 
watched fsck get very confused sorting out the dots.

Do not know what caused it. Does anyone?
