- We were reading our copy of the Brookhaven PDB 92 CD on a 4D/25 running
- 4.0.4 (that may be another part of the problem but read on).

- Did you try to cd into any of these directories? We were able to but in
- one directory there was a corrupted ".." file and was not able to cd back
- to the parent directory. This CD is flakey. We have not had problems with
- other ISO-9660 format CDs.
