I've had a couple of header files apparently get padded out to an 8K boundary with NULs during a make world today (small sample: might have been a page boundary). This was on an up-to-date kernel. The modification time on the files was "just a minute ago", when the only feasible operation on them was cpp reading them... (This is a single user machine, not connected to any network at the time.) I've also been getting a few of the previously reported "attempt to write meta-data" messages, but not at the same time as these file corruptions. Could some of the recent innocuous changes possibly be not so innocuous, or uncovering old bugs? System is a 486DX2/66, 16MB RAM, AHA1542C (no bounce buffers).
