I tarred a heirarchy off of an HP/UX box, and, unfortunately, there was a
link that pointed to its own directory, thusly:

ls -al psf
lrwxrwxr-x   1 101        users            1 Oct 19  2000 psf -> .

When tarred, it created a recursive chain of "psf" directories, which I
can't seem to delete.  When I try, I get the "File name too long" error --
this holds true even if I'm in the bottom-most directory (that I'm able to
access), and execute an "rm -rf ./psf".

Any suggestions on how to gracefully nix this directory heirarchy?

Thanks,
