1.5.24: duplicate directory entries - cygcheck.out (0/1)

[Andrew Schulman]

Some directory entries are appearing twice in ls output.  E.g. see lib in
the following output:

$ ls -li /usr/local
total 0
1688849860279750 drwxrwx---+ 2 aschulma Users 0 May  7 14:15 bin
2251799813802842 drwxrwx---+ 2 aschulma Users 0 May  7 13:45 etc
 562949953541629 drwxrwx---+ 2 aschulma Users 0 May  9 13:19 lib
 562949953541629 drwxrwx---+ 2 aschulma Users 0 May  9 13:19 lib
4503599627432958 drwxr-xr-x+ 3 aschulma None  0 Apr 30 15:44 src
1970324837043942 drwxr-xr-x+ 3 aschulma None  0 May  7 13:15 stow

I've seen this once before.  In that case I rm'ed one of the duplicates (I
think it was a symlink), and rm happily complied, leaving the other entry in
place.  This makes me think that the bug is in the directory structure, and
not in ls.

Andrew.
