Ok this now truely weird I have a infinite recursive directory rooted
on /home/ncvs/ports/sysutils/dolly/files that contains one dir per
level whose name is a single control-N when I try to rm/unlink them I
get:

flosoft-stable# pwd
/repo/ports/sysutils/dolly/files
flosoft-stable# rm -rf *
rm: /: Operation not permitted
rm: : Invalid argument

If I know the inode how can I force the inode to be cleared even if
the filename is illegal?
