Segment fault rm corrupt files

I am running Fedora Core 6:
Linux regmac-fc6 2.6.20-1.2962.fc6 #1 SMP Tue Jun 19 18:24:12 EDT 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

On a number of occasions, Konqueror has crashed and produced a file named something like: /tmp/kde-$USER/konqueror-crash-XXXXXX.log

However, the file has an unknown type, size, and permissions.

As part of the /etc/rc.sysinit file, I have a rm command of the form:

rm -rf /tmp/kde-$USER/*

Because the type of these crash files are unknown, the rm command fails with a segment fault on my Intel IA86 machine (a MacBook running Parallels Fedora Core 6 Linux under Mac OS X (10.4)).

In trying to solved this problem, I had run fsck a number of times, with no complaint from the fsck utility, even though the above mentioned files had invalid type(s). Any attempt to mv or cp fhese file raised fstat errors.
