Hi all!
On a Linux 2.6.8.1 (.config attached) running in an RedHat 9 system, we did
the following as root:
let "i = 0"
while [ "$i" -lt 10 ]; do
tar jxf linux-2.6.8.1.tar.bz2;
rm -fr linux-2.6.8.1;
let "i = i + 1"
done
This produced the following OOPS:

Any ideas what went wrong? File system is EXT3.
