Can't see a directory...

When I list the content of /etc something weird happens :

# ls -l /etc
total 517
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Jul 9 2002 TIMEZONE ->
./default/init
drwxr-xr-x 2 adm adm 512 Jul 10 2002 acct
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Jul 9 2002 aliases ->
./mail/aliases
drwxr-xr-x 2 root sys 512 Jul 9 2002 ami
drwxr-xr-x 2 root bin 512 Jul 10 2002 apache
-rwxr--r-- 1 root sys 360 Jul 10 2002 asppp.cf

[ removed to simplify output ]

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Jul 9 2002 volcopy ->
../usr/sbin/volcopy
-r--r--r-- 1 root bin 962 Jul 10 2002 vold.conf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Jul 9 2002 wall ->
../usr/sbin/wall
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Jul 9 2002 whodo ->
../usr/sbin/whodo
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Jul 9 2002 wtmpx ->
../var/adm/wtmpx
drwxr-xr-x 2 root sys 512 Aug 19 20
#

Now look at the last line of the ls command output, there is a directory
with an invisible name and a wierd date ?

How can I "cd" into it ?
How can I "ls" its content ?
How can I "rm" it ?
