Job was running over night by itself (apart from OS) Uname -a at that time was: 2.6.24-1-amd64 SMP x86_64 GNU/Linux Just over 100 directories containing c.2400 files each, so 240,000 files in total No problem deleting directories created by fill.pl Changed PC hardware and installed Lenny twice since original bug reported and cannot now reproduce problem.
