[K42-discussion] why destory theDeletedObj?

[Dilma DaSilva]

I also would like an answer to Patrick's question :-)
I don't know anything about reading into a field from
the clustered object infrastructure (theDeletedObj) in our vfs
layer. From the CVS revision number, it seems that this got in when
we went for FSFile instead of FileSystemGlobal in virtfs.
