We used to see this many years ago on Onyx machines.
I don't remember exactly what caused it, but we did something like:

	ncheck -i 3046 filesystem

	cp offending_file offending_file.old
	mv offending_file.old offending_file

The offending_file is determined by the output of ncheck.
This got rid of the fsck complaint.
