a file - maybe?

[rikona]

Running 10.04. I have a dir in which Konqueror insists there is a file
[as reported in 'properties']. Konq does not show anything in that dir
though. A root terminal, in that dir, does not show anything
either[with ls]. Nautilus says '0 items' - but when I try to look
inside that dir, it seems to permanently hang with 'loading' instead
of the usual 'empty' on actually empty dirs - so something seems
fishy. What's really there, and how can I tell? If there, it might be
an important file, so need to know...

Thanks,
