Is my name dirty?

I worked for five and a half months in France and never filed a French tax return. Am I in trouble?
About 6 or 7 years ago I spent five and a half month working as an intern for a French electronics company. During this time I made about 700€ a month. My visa was "stagiare non-rémunerée." I never filed any tax stuff for this period, and I'm wondering (a) if I'm in trouble and could get arrested or barred from entry, (b) how can I find out for sure if I'm in trouble without actually trying to enter the country, and (c) how do I fix this if I am in trouble? I no longer have any relevant financial documentation (pay stubs, bank account numbers, etc.) handy, but I could probably find some of it somehow either by contacting the employer or the bank.

This long (and tedious) document explains the system in English in detail.
