I would have to say that

        "started bothering about"

sounds _almost_ like

        "generated error messages referring to"

but in that case you surely would have included more specifics such as the
text of the error messages or maybe even a vague recollection of what they
may have referred to... can you, perhaps, recreate it and give more
detail?

> thank heaven !) are these problems related to the limited ntfs 

Well, I can tell you 2 things.

1) I don't have (and _never_ have had) access to a Windows-NT machine.

2) One is going to appear on my desk within the next week or two.

So, NT support will be improving dramatically.  Soon.  If only because I
will be stuck with it...
