Cross-device link

:Hi,
:
:turned on my machine today, typed 'ls' and got:
:
:EXDEV case 1 0xd2d8be48 src
:EXDEV case 1 0xd2d8be48 src
:EXDEV case 1 0xd2d8be48 src
:ls: .: Cross-device link
:
:'pwd' gives me one EXDEV and a Cross-device link so I guess it's one per 
:directory or so.
:
:Is there anything I can do to save information that could be used for 
:debugging (probably not reproducable). I'll keep the box in this state.
:
:world is from roughly 24h ago.
:
:Unfortunately I forgot which directory I was in yesterday. :)
:
:Regards,
:Sascha

    echo $PWD, the env variable should still be good.

    This error should only occur if the directory you are CD'd into
    got rm -rf'd.

    Is this stable or HEAD ?  HEAD I'm guessing.

    I have a patch that should turn those errors into ENOENTs, which ls
    will actually handle silently in the 'ls' case.  But I do not know
    of any current bugs that would cause a perfectly good directory to
    start returning that.
