Hmmm... I might have run into this one as well actually.  I
first thought it was a power cut, but it was too short to be
that and nothing else in the apartment registred it.  I was
compiling three packages from pkgsrc and listening to a CD at
the time.

I don't really feel encouraged to try to provoke this to
happen again... fsck reported a lot of (non-disasterous) disk
inconsistencies.
