All I can say is that I have seen the exact same thing, and when it
happens to your 20GB news partition, it sucks the big one.

I crashed, rebooted, fsck'd 2x, and it crashed regularly with fs
corruption problems.  Yet the disks check out fine.

Once I newfs them, no more problems.  (Other than the loss of data).

Seems to be a  problem in fsck I would think.
