Any one got any ideas on how to cleanly remove this file/directory
short of "newfs"? It was created by using Norton Commander from
a PC via PC-NFS. Doing a "ls -lR" just recursively lists itself
until a core dump finally occurs. DOS (under PC-NFS) doesn't see
the file at all.

This is on a Sun 3/260 running SunOS 3.4. Could "clri" and "fsck"
fix the problem? The directory basically has NO name. Any help
mucho appreciated.

Have you tried rmdir ^v ^v<return> It looks to me as though the filename does exist, and that it consists of a space then the return character. So, what the above should do is to accept a space, then a <return>. (Note the space between the two control vees.) Hope it works!
