Subject: PLEASE HELP w/ CP/M Directory trashing bug

I have a very strange problem in CP/M 80. Does any guru out there know
what could cause:

- A directory looks fine using DIR or public domain variants that I know
of (e.g. D)
- If I do 'stat *.*' however, a file shows up twice in the directory.
- A CB-80 program seems to semi-randomly get one or the other copy of the
file
- the file duplicates itself sometime during execution of the CB-80 program
(a big accounting package)

Questions:
   1) What could cause the difference between DIR and STAT?
   2) Could this problem be caused by a bug in:
   - CP/M (this is running on a Molecular)
   - CB-80
   - A programmer's error

   Any answers would be much appreciated! (Please mail, don't post. If
   there is enough interest, I will summarize. I DON'T subscribe to
