bug in ext2?

Hi!

OK, I said that I would never write about buffering again, but I think that this
is a buffering problem, and it is a VERY serious problem!

OK, what is the problem? I wanted to explain how HTML-Frames work, and I wrote
some HTML-Files for doing this. frame2.html and frame3.html aren't much
different, the only difference is that the one contains 'frame2' and the other
'frame3' in the body. So I copied frame2.html to frame3.html because I'm to lazy
for rewriting the whole file. I edited frame3.html, and saved it. I wanted to
look at the results in the Netscape Navigator, but got the error 'file not
found'. So I typed ls in the directory, the file was there. I retried it in the
Navigator, same error. I did the whole thing with copying and editing again (the
other files worked!), and I got two frame3.html's in the directory:

voodoo@snerf.local:/home/voodoo/tmp/hptest > ls -l
total 5
-rw-r--r-- 1 voodoo users 182 Mar 19 20:36 frame1.html
-rw-r--r-- 1 voodoo users 84 Mar 19 20:31 frame2.html
-rw-r--r-- 1 voodoo users 84 Mar 19 20:31 frame3.hmtl
-rw-r--r-- 1 voodoo users 84 Mar 19 20:34 frame3.html
-rw-r--r-- 1 voodoo users 230 Mar 19 20:33 index.html
voodoo@snerf.local:/home/voodoo/tmp/hptest >

There are 2 frame3.html's in the directory. This is either a bug in ext2fs or in
JOE, my favorite editor, I think. Any suggestions?

My Hardware:

Pentium 150
80 MB RAM
Quantum Fireball 3.2 GB and WDC 1.5 GB
4X-CD-ROM
AHA-152X-Compatible SCSI-Interface with a flatbed-scanner as the only device
connected to

My Software:

S.u.S.E. Linux 4.4.1
Kernel 2.0.33, no patches or other extensions
ext2fs on all partitions (except the f***-DOS-partitions)
JOE 2.8
bash 1.14.7(1)

Thanx in advance!

PS: ls -l frame3.html shows the newer version...
