Here's a problem I've run across removing bogus file names:
	What if the first char of the funny file is a null?
That's right, a valid file, valid inode, first char in file name is a zero.
No program can remove the file by name since the kernel will take the null char
to be the end of string marker.

The only thing that I have been able to do is clri the inode and rebuild the
file system.  Anyone know a better way?
