Keywords: inodes full xenix null bug

The following has happened twice on our system since going to release 2.2.1.
It appears to happen when you run out of either disk space or inodes.
My guess is inodes but I am not sure. Has anyone else seen this?

	The second byte of a filename in the root directory of a file
	system gets stopmed on by a NULL.  For example, the first time
	this happened (on our root filesystem) the entry for lib got
	wiped out bu the i getting stomped with a NULL.  The next time
	this happened (on a mounted file system) the l in dlc got stomped
	on by a NULL.  dlc was the fourth entry in this directory, I 
	am not sure but I think lib was the fourth in the root filesystem.

Consider this a request for moral support or a warning to others.
