I wrote a week or two ago about a fault where a great slab of folders had
vanished from the server, and have since discovered that the odd OS9 users
periodically finds entire root folders in their Trash. Thankfully they
notice before they empty their trash!
I could imagine that this might be caused by an incorrectly recycled DID?
