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?

NAME
cvs-debuild - build a Debian package using cvs-buildpackage and debuild SYNOPSIS
cvs-debuild [debuild options] [cvs-buildpackage options] [--lintian-opts lintian options] DESCRIPTION
cvs-debuild is a wrapper around cvs-buildpackage to run it with debuild as the package-building program. (This cannot simply be accom- plished using the -C option of cvs-buildpackage, as it does not know how to handle all of the special debuild options.) The program simply stashes the debuild and lintian options, and passes them to debuild when it is called by cvs-buildpackage. All of the standard debuild options may be used (as listed below), but note that the root command specified by any --rootcmd or -r command-line option will be passed as an option to cvs-buildpackage. The first non-debuild option detected will signal the start of the cvs-buildpackage options. The selection of the root command is slightly subtle: if there are any command-line options, these will be used. If not, then if cvs- buildpackage is set up to use a default root command, that will be used. Finally, if neither of these are the case, then debuild will use its procedures to determine an appropriate command, as described in its documentation. See the manpages for debuild(1) and cvs-buildpackage for more information about the behaviour of each. OPTIONS
The following are the debuild options recognised by cvs-debuild. All cvs-buildpackage and lintian options are simply passed to the appro- priate program. For explanations of the meanings of these variables, see debuild(1). --no-conf, --noconf --rootcmd=gain-root-command, -rgain-root-command --preserve-env --preserve-envvar=var, -evar --set-envvar=var=value, -evar=value --lintian, --no-lintian --ignore-dirname, --check-dirname These should not be needed, but it is provided nevertheless.
