I now have some more evidence, 
looking at a copy of the directory in question:

	munch(sneumann):ltmodem-6.00b7.old>ls -l 
	total 322
	-rw-r--r--   1 floemker nogroup     25911 Nov 17  2001 1ST-READ
	[...]
	lrwxr-xr-x   1 floemker nogroup        17 Aug 12  2002 lt_modem.o -> source/lt_modem.o
	lrwxr-xr-x   1 floemker nogroup        18 Aug 12  2002 lt_serial.o -> source/lt_serial.o
	lrwxr-xr-x   1 floemker nogroup        14 Aug 12  2002 ltinst2 -> source/ltinst2
	lrwxr-xr-x   1 floemker nogroup        16 Aug 12  2002 ltuninst2 -> source/ltuninst2
	lrwxr-xr-x   1 floemker nogroup        13 Aug 12  2002 scanPCI -> utils/scanPCI
	drwxr-xr-x   5 floemker nogroup      2048 Mar  3 10:20 source

So I am not sure whether those undeletable files 
are the files in ltmodem/source/lt_foo.o
or the symbolic links pointing there.

Does this help ? I'll keep the server up
in case more investigations are needed.

Yours,
Steffen
