Unless the image on disk was corrupted, in which case you'd have no idea.
This is exactly what I've seen many, many times. Both in computer
systems and especially in embedded systems. The last time I had this
problem was a couple weeks ago at the company I was working for. It took
days to determine what version of code was in the failed units because
we did not have a string as Carl describes embedded in the image.
