Thanks a lot Adam - this really did the trick.  fsck threw up a *raft*
of errors. Previously I had reformatted & put everything back on the
drive in the belief that this was the problem, but it looks like I
simply ended up replacing the cause of my hassles.  Removing files
fsck had a problem with means it now works sweet as a nut.

I have been trying to get to the bottom of this for six months, and
this is the only place I have had help that has solved the problem -
what a great lug this is.

Win 98SE & XP never complained once about all this.  Linux is
obviously more picky.  This can be a good and bad thing :-)
