oh - I thought it was simply that bin was tagged and the corresponding behavior was not expected. (I don't recall any recent changes to the way things are tagged, which could have introduced a bug - I use my own directory editor for local filesystem maintenance). > But it's very strange.

(It could be a memory corruption bug that we've not encountered). Of course I prefer the bugs that happen right away... -- Thomas E.
