hi,

I'm working with 1.4.pre 39 since a few months without problems. now
something strange occured:

Copying a folder Y from a Mac (OS 9) to the server All/dirA/dir1/ I
got error -50 "could not write file x (located in Y)"
I tried it again: message: folder Y does already exist - would you replace it.

I said "Yes" (I'll do it never again!!!!)

Because: Suddenly I got the message "can't delete folder All/dirB
because its in use"
I stopped and looked into All/dirA/dir1 - and it was empty!!
exception "Temporary Items"

I asked my desingers (working with OS 8.6) if they ever had an error
while copying files. The answer "no".

Is it a problem with netatalk and OS 9?

Is there a fix?

O god, I hope my backup was working fine, cause the lost of a whole
days work isn't really funny.
