>Description:

	MS-DOS filesystem sometimes omits ".." in created directories.

>How-To-Repeat:

	# The /etc/fstab file contains
	# /dev/wd0h       /mnt/dos msdos  noauto,synchronous,rw 1 4
	mount /mnt
	cd /mnt
	mkdir zxc
	cd zxc
	ls -a
	ls: ..: No such file or directory
	./

	# syncing has no effect, neither does waiting as far as I can tell
	# unmountoing and mounting the msdos filesystem fixes it.

	cd /
	umount /mnt
	mount /mnt
	ls -s /mnt/zxc
	./      ../

	Dunno
