	There certainly are.  I had a cyclic crosslink in my EA DATA.  SF some
	weeks ago (a cluster pointed back to itself instead of the next cluster)
	and CHKDSK locked up completely, probably stuck forever in the cluster
	loop.

	I had to use DOS's CHKDSK to fix the cross link, and of course I lost
	all my EAs....

---MS-DOS 6.2 seems to have a bug in CHKDSK, which finds imaginary
faults in the directory paths.  Other software seems to have
no trouble negotatng directory paths.  Not recommended to try
to "fix" such non-errors, as directories/files may disappear.
Suggest a disc repair program that makes an "undo" file,
with which you can restore the original files/directory
if anything goes wrong.

   As for OS/2 chkdsk, it reports a clean bill of health, but
fails to pick up cross-linked files found by DR-DOS 6.
