On 13 Aug 2010, gvim told this:

I suspect that if you list them via ls -l, their names are intact but
everything else comes up all question-marks?

If so, this means that readdir() (kernel syscall: getdents()) returns
the filenames, but stat() says they're not there. It always means
something very screwy is going on.

(strace of ls and cat may provide more evidence.)

I've never even seen a running Mac outside my aunt's house, so no :)
