We have a few tafs that will return 2000+ rows if you put in the wrong
search arguments. Chokes the server for up to 20 seconds, but never
caused a crash. I think your problem was just coincidence.

Sounds to me like the constant writing to the HD corrupted the file system.
I don't think it's mechanical.

Subject: Witango-Talk: coincidence?
My dev server melted down. coincidentally, I had a taf that returned a
foundset with 1000 records. A mistake, but it would choke the http
server. I was in the process of fixing that taf when my server just
died. Hard drive failure. It seemed like a coincidence. No way that a
too-big foundset could corrupt a hard drive, right?
I moved the files to another server. I fixed the taf to make sure it
only retrieved 75 records at a time. (<@ARG number> = 75) Another
person kept restoring the old taf, though. It crapped out the http
server. Then a hard drive failure.
Is it possible that a taf that returns too big a data set could crap
out the hard drive? Coincidence?
