My thanks to david at eng.sun.com who sent me the answer to my question. I am posting the solution here, in case others have this problem.
dirac% find /home -inum 45100 -print
/home/ballen/string/fast
dirac% cd /home/ballen/string/fast
/home/ballen/string/fast
dirac% ls
! frame.0030 grav_waves.0220 main_hist.1400
Framelist frame.0040 grav_waves.0230 main_hist.1600
Runout frame.0050 grav_waves.0240 main_hist.1800
analyze/ frame.0060 grav_waves.0250 main_hist.2000
... + lots of other files
The problem seemed to be the file called "!". When this was
removed, dump was happy again.
Thanks, Bruce Allen
