What that text is, is a copy of an HTTP conversation between a web browser and 
a web server.  Looking at the conversation, it's a copy of what happens when a 
client talks to the trac server itself.  It's not some completely irrelevant 
thing, but probably something happening when someone tried to download those 
very files.

This suggests to me that some sort of corruption has occurred on the server 
itself, either low-level hard disk corruption or the trac server has bad code 
in and is overwriting the files its meant to be serving.  Either way, if I was 
the admin of that server, I would be switching to panic mode and doing a 
widespread investigation into how many of my files were corrupt.
