Does the web build on freefall use the -j option to make(1) by any chance? I looked at the broken file when I first got billf's e-mail, and it looked to me like two processes were trying to write to the file simulatiously. I tried using -j locally, but everything seemed fine. However, -j combined with heavy load (which I didn't have) just might explain this phenomenon.
