Removing a directory segfaults...

I've come across a system which appears to have had directories
recursively created - problem is I cant cd far enough down to start
removing them, and an rm -rf segfaults...

e.g.

ls -R

ls:
./homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/hom
er/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer/homer:
File name too long

Any thoughts on how to remove this short of backing up the filesystem
and newfs'ing?

TIA

Darren
