I do not know if this is related to the ShareFS triple but I did find some
extraneous zero length data files. The file names matched a real text files.
They were in Scrap in SysLogs, just the three of them, it was not actually a
problem as the real file was present and correct. DirSync found them. I did
not spot this until the day after the zero length files appeared so have no
useful information as to what was going on when they were created.

I have reinstated the original HostFS dll, better the devil you know and all
that.
