Well, it came up with a 'partially-truncated inode', and I had
to run `fsck' manually.  Note that while I am running with
softupdates turned on for the /-partition, I also have

background_fsck="NO"

set in /etc/rc.conf, so the fsck has to succeed before the system
comes completely up.  So it went into single-user mode, I did the
'fsck -y', rebooted, and it seems to have recovered okay.

(I just wanted to mention the background_fsck="NO" part, in case
anyone else is thinking of running with softupdates turned on...)
