deleting a bad directory

That's why the directions 1) said you should do an "ls -lid" on "lost+found"
to get its inumber and 2) said you should tell "fsck" not to reconnect that
inode when it asks - have it clear it instead.  Unlinking "lost+found/."
and then "lost+found" will work (that removes both links to "lost+found",
and UNIX blows away the inode) unless some of the entries in "lost+found"
are directories - especially the unremovable one; in that case, there will
still be links to "lost+found" (as "lost+found/#blahblah/..") and the inode
will hang around.
