There was a widespread bug in unix NFS implementations which accepted files
with a / in it. Unfortunately the only 2 Chars which never can appear in
Unix Filenames are / and "\0". There was now way to delete those files. (In
fact, there is no way to generate them eighter, but since the NFS server
runs in kernel mode it bypassed the name->inode mapping. This is fixed a
long time.
