Odd files in ext2 filesystem on 2.2.14

I've been having some odd files being generated now on 2 separate
systems running 2.2.14 kernel and ext2 file systems. They cannot
be deleted and have extremely odd file characteristics.

Additionally on one system used as a web server, email gateway
and squid proxy I am finding file system corruption every time
I reboot, even if the system is cleanly shut down.

The files look like:

?--x-w--wt 1 31085 28724 4294967295 Dec 2 2024 #3102770
?--x-w-r-T 1 13652 19251 4294967295 May 14 1997 #3102772
?--xr-xr-t 1 19556 30520 4294967295 Apr 8 1996 #3102774
?--x-----x 1 21335 27185 4294967295 Sep 18 2012 #3102775
?r-x-w-r-t 1 14131 26734 4294967295 Nov 8 2023 #3102776
?--xr-x--t 1 13611 2627 4294967295 Jan 31 2011 #3102777
?--s--xr-T 1 24908 19055 4294967295 Apr 26 1997 #3102783

The only thing that characterises them as the same is the invalid
file type bit and the all ones file size.

Has anyone seen this or know what may be causing it? If I need to
send more information I would be glad to oblige as it is driving
me bats.
