Upgraded from 5.2 to 6.1 and now the filesystem is unstable.
It frequently creates duplicate directory entries that are not
removable.

Bug 7182 is being closed because it seems to have been fixed in the long
timeframe since 1999. I am unable to duplicate it on a 8.0 or 7.3 red hat linux.
If it is still occuring, please open a new bug.
