first it is not a pair directories, but a directory and a file.

second, are you sure both of the mare just ".." for example

	eax /tmp % touch ".. "
	eax /tmp % ls -la | grep "\.\."
	drwxr-xr-x   23 root     root         1024 Sep 16  2000 ..
	-rw-rw-r--    1 adam     adam            0 Jul 16 01:09 ..

so use 'od' to see what the filename is composed of:

	eax /tmp % ls -la | grep "\.\." | od -a
	 .   .  sp  nl
