In addition to Lars' suggestions, I've also found "ls -b" to be helpful with files like this.
Files with meta-chars in them can be hard to delete. Either escape the troublesome chars with a "\" or surround the whole filename with single quotes. For example:
rm \?\$2@ rm '?#2@'
Of course, hidden chars (like control chars) will make those fail. You can always do:
rm -i *2*
putting any <normal> char between the stars and then give "y" to the one to go away and n to the others to keep. For files that start with a leading "-", be sure to make the pattern "./*something*".
That doesn't answer your question about bug or crack, but hopefully the contents of the file will help you determine that.
Good Luck!
