Hi folks,

	We had an unexpected power outage that left the filesystem on one
of my boxes corrupted enough to need a manual fsck to come up.  My problem
now is that fsck dumps core at the same point repeatedly at the same
point.  As a result, I have no /usr partition.  Doh!

	The last message goes somethng like the following:

> .....

> MISSING '..' I=184982 OWNER=root MODE=40755

> DIR=/src/share/doc/papers/nqnfs/CVS
> CANNOT FIX, FIRST ENTRY IN DIRECTORY CONTAINS proflibs-install.sh
> pid 15 (fsck), uid 0,: exited on signal 10
> Bus error


	Does anyone have any suggestions?  Am I SOL?  If someone out there
wants to debug the problem so that it is fixed, I would be more than glad
to assist.  A core dumping fsck is a _very_ scary thing to have on ones
system.  I am a bit stuck to fix this myself, given that I cannot even 
get /usr/src back on-line.

	This is not an important machine, so I am not pressured to fix it
immediately.  I'd like to resolve the problem properly before forgetting
about it.

	Lastly, it is a 2.2-STABLE-980118 based system.

thanks,	

	Adrian
