I think that the problem was I had a crash like this on 3.1 -STABLE box. I loaded a buggy kernel module, the box paniced, and a lot of /usr ended up in lost+found. This was an ancient Pentium box, no power management. It was a bunch of consecutive inodes. It looked like it was filesystem buffers had been randomly hosed, and panic's sync wrote them out. Most of the files touched weren't in use, but a couple I was editing at the time.
