System name:		portnoy
Type and version:	RTPC-ROMPC 7.1H (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type:		apa16

What were you trying to do?
	expunge the deleted files in a directory

What's wrong:
	after typing "expunge ." there were still two .#* files in the
directory.  (there were ~ 30 originally.)  As far as I could tell,
there was nothing special about them.  "expunge ." again made them go away.

What should have happened:
	expunge should have worked right the first time.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
