ProDOS Error $5A "Baked bit-map"

[John David Duncan <jdd@efn.org>]

I have a Laser 128 and RamFast.  Today, I discovered that one of my
Appleworks files had been overwritten by nulls (Appleworks actually
crashed trying to load it in).  Luckily, I have a backup copy of that
file.

Using Davex, I decided to delete the bad file and rename the backup.  When
I tried this, though, I got prodos error $5A -- "baked bit-map" as the
friendly davex error table says.  I then tested this hard drive with Mr.
Fixit, but didn't see any terrible-looking errors.

Any insight into what this error message means and what I can do about it?

.... I hope you weren't including ME in that, Bill.
