I'm not sure what this is about, but it might be the first hint at a
wearing out CF. Apparently something to do with corrupted disk blocks
(according to various *BSD lists). I've been having these warnings quite
regularly for a couple of weeks now. CF is about a year old, brand
"Kingston Technology". The "soft error" indicates that it's nothing to
worry about anyway, so I won't, for now.
