LOL.  There's a "verifyarena" command?  Silly me, I just had to
s/checkarenas/verifyarena/!

How do you guys know all these obscure command names (let alone what
they do)?  Let me guess... you wrote them?  Plan 9 is really looking
like a hacker's OS... for hackers, by hackers (of hacks??).

(fast forward)

Using some device mapper "magic", I was able to make the backed-up arena
appear at the correct location in the arena file.  The backed-up copy of
the arena verifies OK.  The live copy of the arena is reported to have
an incorrect sum... but that's all it says.

Is there a way to look into an arena a little deeper, to find the
offending data?  I'd like to debug this, and try to find the cause of
this corruption, in order to avoid it in the future.
