Dave, so it is not worth to try the above mentioned fix I gess. As it does not happen under 'normal' conditions when just moving a few files and when knowing about it it is no loger dangerous for me;-) My most common use is to access data created under os/2 also from Linux, mainly multimedia-files and databases. But I am prepared to test in case you try another patch. Many thanks and regards, Ingo ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
