This happened  to me a couple  of times on the  not so hot MB  (not sure
what chipset, but it is at least a year old).

Somehow, some  files get zero-filled.  A bug, obviously :(  A workaround
for me was to remove the file and see re-created. But for you, it seems,
the problem is a  lot more severe, and the bug really  does show up. You
may need to wait for one of the kernel gurus to get the same motherboard
and fix the  problem, which exists but  is a lot harder  to reproduce on
the older ones.
