It comes from Classic crashing. You know how OS 9.2 leaves those files in the trash after a crash (and even a proper shutdown a good deal of the time)? OS X's automatic fsck on restart never clears the resulting B-tree errors you've noticed. Running Disk First Aid (Disk Utility) after booting from the installer disk will, however. I believe (but won't swear to it) that multiple passes of fsck from single user mode will also properly clear these errors.
I tend to think this is a bug in the way OS X does autocheck on restrart. Perhaps there's some startup parameter that can be set that will correct it? On Friday, May 3, 2002, at 08:26 AM, Alan B.
