This *can* be the symnptom of a hardware problem, such as bad memory or a bad disk. If you have a disk thats going bad, the symptoms often are corrupt files and extremeley slow writes (because the disk controller retries the write operation (marking sections as bad) until it either succeeds or gives up). /Jonas -- Jonas Eckerman, FSDB & Fruktträdet http://whatever.frukt.org/ http://www.fsdb.org/ http://www.frukt.org/
