Yes, there was a bug in the HFS.FST that misinterpreted larger size
blocks (or clusters if you want to go with the Windows term).  One of
the programmers for System 6.01 figured this out later on and released
a program to patch the HFS.FST.  I think if you searched the Ground
archive, you'd find the patching program and likely a better explanation.
