Most of the time, on my system this results in a panic: ffs_valloc: dup alloc. However, every now-and-then, I get a "bad dir" panic as well. If you've been following the discussions about "dup alloc" panics; feel free to join in... I have definite suspicions this is the same problem... What make's me think that is that, as you, I have my own expire that removes files one-at-a-time....
