Of course, *just theoretically* it could be the result of a damaged file system, since you were talking about this a while before. The only way to check that is to look at the dump. If it happens in the same place in the 'make world' (libdriver), that's a possible indication of file system damage. But the only way to be sure (or even remotely sure) is to look at the dump.
