This is on an Alpha. I have been getting strange results from some
software. I investigated, and got these results:

erwin ~/mqueue$ ls -l | grep mail.00937075929.00000
ls: mail.00937075929.00000: No such file or directory
erwin ~/mqueue$ ls | grep mail.00937075929.00000
mail.00937075929.00000

According to strace, ls -l is dying:

lstat("mail.00937075929.00000", 0x1ffff9a0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

So, apparently the file is in the directory, but yet isn't. I have no
idea how this can occur. Ideas?
