OK, my corruption is back and this time I'm saving the data. Al, send some email when you are around, we can talk about access to the data. I'm tarring up both good & bad right now. I've looked at a few files and they look "shifted".

extra junk
original file less sizeof(extra junk) bytes

The machine has been up 6 days since the last corruption happened and the process which detected the corruption ran successfully every night as well as about 4 times by hand after my last corroption report.

Lovely. Are these files longer than 4Kb, BTW?
