At 03:57p -0700 07/01/2004, John W. Baxter didst inscribe upon an electronic papyrus:

Almost sounds as if some errant code stuffed four bytes of UTF-8 into a
place meant for four bytes of bytes.

And the flaw points up the danger of algorithms like "delete this thing if
it doesn't match the things I want to keep" as opposed to
"move the things I want to keep to a different directory, then rename this
directory something like 'deleteme' then rename the new directory to the
name this one had"

Delete is so permanent. ;-)

Reminds me of using 'del' with wildcards in DOS 3.3 (buggy).

Me to boss: "Files are disappearing right and left!" Oops.
