[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Norton Utilities bug

Quite a few months ago there was a discussion of a bug in Norton Disk Doctor.
Supposedly the program could cause directories to slowly disintegrate if a
specific function of the utility were run.  That is, over the course of a
disk's use the files would begin to disappear without any rhyme or reason.
 
What I'd like to know is, can anyone tell me how to determine if a particular
version of the program is so affected.  I have a user who used the utility to
upgrade from DOS 3.1 to 3.3.  The results were nearly immediate.  I need to
find out if it was a result of the utility or if there was another reason.

Thanks,
Bob
