The problem is that on JFS partition `rm -r' fails to delete a directory
containing more than 168 files.

The illustrating script:

=====
#!/bin/sh

mkdir test_dir
for i in `seq 1 169`;
do
echo "" >test_dir/$i
done
rm -r test_dir
=====

It produces the error
rm: cannot remove directory `test_dir': Directory not empty
leaving one file in the directory `test_dir'.
Subsequent run `rm -r test_dir' removes the directory as expected.
