Mem-map was set to 'auto' - when I set it to 'all' the screen immediately filled with errors and 'probe' froze the machine instantly. I think (hope?) these failures represent something odd, but not broken, in my laptop's bios rather than a real memory error, so I'm provisionally eliminating memory failure as the cause of my file corruption. Any idea where I go from here? That file really does change. Could it be a hard disk problem on the exact spot where this file is? is fsck my friend in this instance? I'll go and rtfm right now...
