I've really done it this time.  I installed a version 4.1 of fileutils,
and it appears to have hosed the filesystem in a very bad way. BTW, this
box is Redhat based, using XFS.

*Every* single file on the box now has a size of 16T (yes, terrabytes).
Now as wonderful as it would be to have a few petabytes of storage in a my
mini-ATX workstation, reality tells me that's not the case.

Everything is working just fine, even df reports accurate results, but i
know something is badly broken, and i fear rebooting the box.

Anyone have any ideas?
