strange duplicate files... bug?

[Michael Kahle <kahlemt@whoha.org>]

I am seeing some strange behavior on my linux box.  Any ideas.
I have a Samba share called 'share'.  This is a mounted hard drive with
a ton of space that I place mp3's, pictures, files, etc... I use as a central 
repository for all of my junk.  If I type 'ls -al' I get the following 
_partial_ listing:

Notice how all of the files have 3 instances with different file name 
suffixes.  I don't know what is causing this.

I did a search on Google for '4c8cc' and my search yelded the following 2 
URL's of interest:

http://www.lems.brown.edu/~mcchang/image/
http://gis.mit.edu/classes/11.521/lectures/Lecture12/

Following these urls you will notice the same pattern on the files in the 
directory listing as on my computer.

Any ideas?  It appears that this is isolated to jpg and gif files.
