[Zope-CMF] Missing skin files saga continues

[seb bacon]

Well, I'm giving up for now.  There was something very strange going
on with that png:

[seb@lenin ProtoExtranet-2]$ head mailin.png 
head: mailin.png: No such file or directory

[seb@lenin ProtoExtranet-2]$ stat mailin.png 
  File: "mailin.png"  Size: 274        Blocks: 8         Regular File
Access: (0755/-rwxr-xr-x)         Uid: (  500/     seb)  Gid: (  100/   users)
Device: 9          Inode: 3597531    Links: 1    
Access: Wed Jun 13 13:41:36 2001
Modify: Wed Jun 13 12:46:40 2001
Change: Wed Jun 13 12:47:37 2001

I replaced it with another copy, which I *could* read, and it still
didn't work.  I removed the gif completely, and abracadabra, all the
other files in the skin appeared again.

Two questions:

1) Has anyone seen the curious behaviour above before on Linux?  What
   does it mean?

2) Is there any chance of having the FSObjects fail less silently?

cheers,

seb
