Bill,

# ls -li
total 12
4248357 -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11640 Oct 29 07:45 
8a203b79706a7fd3dcbeb5c173e4e8-134?648.o*

Why 12? There's only one non-hidden file there.

# find . -inum 4248357 -delete
find: cannot delete `./8a203b79706a7fd3dcbeb5c173e4e8-134\021648.o': No such 
file or directory

Notice the `?' has been replaced by the octal \021.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Regards,

Rich
