Summary: rm/mv buggy under MSDOS

Has there been any changes in the MSDOS code or deletion code in the last
two months (my kernel from December works OK).  When I  rm  or  mv  something
from my MSDOS partition, the space is free'd (FAT stuff wiped?), but the
directory entry remains, so I can still  ls  it.  To fix it, I have to run
MSDOS and  del  the file (and  scandisk  to be sure).
(I also upgraded my computer then but I doubt that that's the problem).
Thanks
