Subject:   spurious problems with a P150 system

I added a new FreeBSD machine recently
(P150, Triton CS, 2x1.5GB IDE (ick),NE2000(ick), 32MB).

I sup -current over ethernet locally from blues (sup1.de.freebsd.org)
daily and build world and kernel.

Now and then it happens now that files are clobbered. For example
today I had a totally corrupt /usr/include/sys/errno.h
containing ^H, @ and a lot of characters with bits flipped in them so
it seemed.

I wonder how this can happen. Bad hardware?, network card?, cache?
memory? The system can build world on the other hand w/o
problems once there is no corrupt file in the tree.

I tend to assume a network/hw problem. Both systems are running
-current.
