Thanks for your response. I am aware of that possible problem. I've 
structured my folders such that no single folder has more than about 
2500 objects in it. Perhaps that's causing an issue all the same. I 
would have thought Fedora Core 3 could handle that, but I admit that my 
knowledge of operating systems is not that sophisticated.
