This is more-than-likely a hardware bug, but ...

I'm running XENIX 1.3 on a Radio Shack Model 16B, this is reported to
be a close copy (and truncated) version of v7.

Now for the problem : I have found an extremely large file nested within
the usr/spool directory.  This file seems to be nothing more than a 
directory within a directory within a directory, ad infinitum.
It goes like this ...

	/usr/spool/lpd
	/usr/spool/lpd/lfa00047
	/usr/spool/lpd/lfa00047/spool
	/usr/spool/lpd/lfa00047/spool/lpd
	/usr/spool/lpd/lfa00047/spool/lpd/lfa00047
		.

Has *anyone* seen anything like this ?  Can anyone point me to someone
with some answers (perhaps at trsvax).  My dealing over the phone to
the system guys at RS has caused me to crash my system.
