I have the following directory structure: /usr/home/home/'users'/'users files' When in /usr/home/home, as root, doing 'cat *' I get very strange output. It's a lot of not viewable characters, but also file names of existing files in /usr/home/home/'users' and in /usr/home/home/'users'/'users files'. The strangest of all is that even files that has been removed shows up. Is this reproduceable on other computers run- ning 4.5-RELEASE as well? Is it a bug in cat, or is this a normal behaveiour?
