	FreeBSD 2.1.5, Windows 95

>Description:

	Renaming MSDOS directories mounted under FreeBSD with the "mv"
	seems to slightly corrupt the filesystem.  I believe it is
	creating a circular directory structure somehow with the a
	directory of the new name inside the old directory.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Mount a DOS filesystem read/write.  Create a directory.  Rename
	the directory with "mv" as you would with a unix directory.
	Voila!  Busted directory.

>Fix:
	
	Under DOS scandisk is able to correct the damage, but I don't
	know what the source of the problem is.
