IIRC, this smiley was put into the sparc crash handler by Dave Miller, the original author of the Sparc ports. He lost quite a bit of hair over the Sparc stuff, but he kept his humor (even though some of his humor was later edited out of the kernel source though, because it was considered offensive and politically incorrect by People Who Care).

Yes you are seeing two entrys for .. and I cannot delete the corrupted directory. Any suggestions on how to remove the dir short of formatting the filesystem?
If it's an ext2 file system I think you may be able to fix it using debugfs. For others I'm afraid you're doomed to live with it.
