Hi -

I encountered a possible "feature" of the DVX File Manager.  I brought up
the file manager and connected to a Sun.  I made a directory called
"TAR_Z_FILES" where I keep a few things archived.  I then tried to double-click
down into the directory using the file manager, and it crashed.  The file 
manager died, apparently leaving everything else intact.  I repeated this a
couple of time with the same results.  I changed the directory name to 
"tar_z_files" and then restarted the file manager.  This time there were no 
problems.  

I tried a few different directory names such as "X" and "XXXXXXXX" without
any problems.  (Those were made from another login session.)

I made a few more directories using the "Make Directory" menu in File Manager.
I haven't been able to duplicate the problem.

Has anybody ever seen this before?
