Sounds like the directory was created by a script that went into a loop.

What happens when you do "updatedb", then after it finishes do "locate
gmon.out"?  The database used by locate is updated every 24 hours so it's
not unusual for it to return files that don't exist anymore.  If you want to
check the filesysytem run "find" (see a tutorial on the web to get up to
speed) or run "updatedb" and locate to go from a recent snapshot.
