Odd file with no name

OS: Solaris 2.6
File with no name created Mar of 2000 - ls (with or without options) shows the file but no name associated with it.
Example:
ls -ltca
-rw-r--r-- 1 root other 9721 Apr 16 2003 printcap
-rw-r--r-- 1 root other 267 Apr 16 2003
-rw-r--r-- 1 root other 258 Apr 16 2003 auto_master

Run file command:
file *
timezone: ascii text
ypservers: English text
: ascii text

I figured out that I could use the find command to look for the specific file with -type f and -size 267 so I did rename it to junk. It contained text relating to CVS. I had tried both a space and tab with the ls command but that didn't work.

Anyone ever see a file with no name?
