Several times on my laptop where various applications suddenly misbehave, rebooting cures that, but once firefox was corrupted and i had to reinstall it. Since it has several experimental drivers i can perhaps blame them. But once i have found completely corrupted +CONTENTS files on my desktop which has supported hardware. The corrupted entry was flagged by my check_pkg.py first time i used it on /var/db/pkg. Of course this is the sort of thing absolutely impossible to characterize. -- Michel TALON
