Null in directory name

[Chris Torek]

Adb (or---if you're lucky enough to have one---a file system scribble
tool program) can correct mucked up directory names.

However, (and I'm not sure if works for System n, where 3 <= n <= 5),
there is a better way:  if /usr is corrupted such that /usr/bin is now
/usr/b^@n, then "ln /usr/b" to "/usr/bin".  This works iff your namei
code doesn't compare the entire name, including all trailing nulls.
Unfortunately, most do.

As a third alternative, you can always "mkdir /usr/bin" and restore
only the files that go there (assuming you have plenty of disk space),
then remove the "/usr/b^@n" later.
