Andi,

The rm -rf problem is our topic priority and should be fixed in less
that a week.

Understandable but FWIW they have apparently passed a night of
stress-kernel (cerberus) testing on the latest jfs..

rm -rf not working correctly is a kind of show stopper bug ATM though.
Hopefully it can be fixed soon.

with too many files inside of a directory this was a bug also under
AIX 3.2.5, and could be used for any kind of DoS.
Just with AIX 4.1.X this bug disappeared and we also got the
