  Eighteen years after an infrared excess was discovered associated with the
white dwarf G29-38, we report ground-based measurements (JHKL'N') with
mJy-level sensitivity of GD 362 that show it to be a second single white dwarf
with an infrared excess. As a first approximation, the excess around GD 362,
which amounts to about 3% of the total stellar luminosity, can be explained by
emission from a passive, flat, opaque dust disk that lies within the Roche
radius of the white dwarf. The dust may have been produced by the tidal
disruption of a large parent body such as an asteroid. Accretion from this
circumstellar disk could account for the remarkably high abundance of metals in
the star's photosphere.
