File disappears mysteriously

[Michael Sperber [Mr. Preprocessor]]

Every now and then, arla loses track of my .Xauthority.  The file name
is still in the directory listing, but stat fails.  Symptom:

sams[31] ls -l ~
.Xauthority: no such file or directory

fs flush and fs flushvol don't help.

This is 0.34.6 on FreeBSD 4.0-RELEASE.  However, I've been seeing this
at least since 0.34.  Since .Xauthority is pretty crucial to my
operation, I normally need to kill arlad right away.  With earlier
versions of arla, I tried to hang on for longer and it would start
losing track of more and more files.

Anyone have a clue?
