Unfortunately there's no working version of strace for the sparc32-linux
platform. :o( If anyone knows better, I'd be infinitely grateful - mail me
privately.

As it turns out, the extraneous '..' is actually a file. I did a rm ..*,
which left the original .. directory alone but removed the .. file. Did a
e2fsck on reboot, no problems found.
