I'm a little confused, because *file system error* -428 is:

   :debug
   = errmsg (-#428, 8)

    HFS PATHNAME EXCEEDED THE NUMBER OF LEVELS SUPPORTED (FSERR 428)

The above could be caused by a link that points back above itself somewhere
(i.e., a circular link, in effect)

Process creation error -428 is:
   :debug
   = errmsg (-#428, $8f)

   The FATHER'S directory file is not a NATIVE MODE file.  (PROCESS CREATION ERROR -428)
