Mugly ugly bit spray your file system 

I have not seen file system corruption after my silent reboots/hangs at all! 
Lucky me!  And there hasn't been a shortage of them either ! :-)

*** I would worry that this is another problem creeping up on you. ***  I
don't think this is the silent-reboot or swapper-deadlock problem.

I have seen this awhile back in the pre 2.0.5R days.  The files had also gotten
the special chflags so you can't delete them.   The modes, flags, lengths,
etc are just garbage.
