I must have missedsomething...
 
If the prohibition on slashes in filenames is enforced by the kernel, how
the bleep does NFS get them in there?  If *IX were as modular, well,
structured, well, well-behaved as it were supposed to be, shouldn't these
things never happen, whether or not there is an exactly appropriate error
code for it?
