Okay, I know that you aren't supposed to be able to create a hard
link to a directory.  In the ln(1) man page, however, it states that
"Hard links may not normally refer to directories and may not span
filesystems."

Does that mean there is some way to create hard links to directories
in a 'non-normal' way?  If so, are there consequences?

Cheers,
