7:44 last night with no errors. Mem-map was set to 'auto' - when I set it 
to 'all' the screen immediately filled with errors and 'probe' froze the 
machine instantly. I think (hope?) these failures represent something odd, 
but not broken, in my laptop's bios rather than a real memory error, so I'm 
provisionally eliminating memory failure as the cause of my file corruption.

Any idea where I go from here? That file really does change. Could it be a 
hard disk problem on the exact spot where this file is? is fsck my friend in 
this instance? I'll go and rtfm right now...

Thanks,
Ben
