I've just accidentally started gdb and being caught by the `usual'
panic.  But i've been rather surprised, remembering back, that gdb
actually *worked* 10 minutes ago on the same binary!  (I'm typing the
``gdb foo'' command blindly without thinking as soon as i've been
seeing something like ``Segmentation fault (core dumped).'', so did i
in this case.)

I also noticed (this was with a 950210-SNAP kernel) that the fsck -p
did not complain about any inconsistencies in the file system other
than the statistics, but it *silently* truncated my files to zero
length.  Sounds like a bug to me.  (Previously i remember that i've
seen something like ``Incorrect block count, 4 should be 0 (fixed)''
in this case, which was a clear signal to not trust the files.)

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
