"Error 1392 opening dir"

Today I encountered "Error 1392 opening dir" message when trying to open several directories. After opening these directories in Resco Explorer TC also opened them without any messages. What does this message mean?

Error 1392 means:
1392=ERROR_FILE_CORRUPT
The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable.

I wonder how Resco could read it then...

Even more wonderful is that after reading it in Resco any program was able to read this directory again

I suppose that the file was not really corrupt, but used by some program, that I closed b4 trying to read the directory ... and by the time I tried reading it in Resco that program stopped locking the directory. Is that possible?

There are no directory permissions on Windows CE, and a program cannot lock a directory so others cannot access it. So I really don't understand what could have caused this problem, sorry.
