it had strange plist entries and unicode chars in it. I am rather concerned. A reinstall did fix it though.
This will happen occasionally if the machine is shut down improperly. It usually occurs when the disk cache
is not completely written, so the file points to data elsewhere on the disk:
File 1 points to 0x0000 through 0x00FF
File 2 points to 0x0100 through 0x01FF
File 3 points to 0x0200 through 0x02FF
Then File 1 is lengthened, files 3, 2, and 1 have the data moved, but not the file ptrs, then a system crash. Then it is as follows:
File 1 points to 0x0000 through 0x01FF <-- All of file 1
File 2 points to 0x0100 through 0x01FF <-- Data is new part of file 1
File 3 points to 0x0200 through 0x02FF <-- Data is old file 2
File 3 is lost!!!
Note that file 1 and file 2 share the same data space Not Good!!! This is fairly rare, but it does occur.
