Problems with RM on NSLU2

[Michael McTails]

I built coreutils with a native GCC compiler on the NSLU2 which is an 
armv5b device. I keep getting circular directory structure even though 
the filesystem is fine. Here the error messages exactly, and any info I 
think is useful:

DATABANK:/opt/src root# ls
bash-3.0  coreutil.tar  coreutils-5.2.1  test
DATABANK:/opt/src root# rm -r test/
rm: WARNING: Circular directory structure.
This almost certainly means that you have a corrupted file system.
NOTIFY YOUR SYSTEM MANAGER.
The following directory is part of the cycle:
  `test//../../../../../../../..'
