Yes, a FAT volume under NT is another case where you could see such
entries, since DJGPP programs cannot access long file names under NT.

I don't think there's any real problem, I just didn't think about the
NT case when I wrote my message.
I believe that what you see is supposed to happen on a FAT volume used
by NT and then accessed under DOS. You simply see the additional
directory entries left behind by NT for the long file names.
