mkdir segmentation fault

When I try to run mkdir on one of our dl boxes (1.2.?), logged in as
root, on a flash drive we have as /dev/devil-linux/log  (i.e. /var/log)
I get a segmentation fault.

Anyone any idea what could cause a segmentation fault on mkdir ?

Nothing has changed on the box afaik.

Yours,
Moray

I've had problems on systems running off a CDR when the media gets a
film on it over time and the system cannot read the CD any longer.
See if there are any CD read errors in `dmesg' or from syslog.  (this
is why I always set the RUNFROMRAM option)

Or you could run the mkdir command with strace to see where it's
failing.  'strace mkdir /var/...'.
