Are you using a 4K blocksize on your news file system by any chance?  I've 
been having corruption problems like this for 12 months now, and changing 
to 8K blocks seems to have cured it..  (at least, the machine has been up 
for 7 days now, previous record was 3 and a half days).  The disk 
overheads are a killer though... :-(
