So everything should be okay, right?

Guess what? Remember how I mentioned an unexpected, untraceable reboot
earlier?
This is the directory I was copying files from to the possibly corrupted
filesystem, which turned up to have NO errors.
The files that appear fine *ARE* fine. Why? I'm not sure. They were all
written *AFTER* the random reboot, and about 30 fscks between then and
now.
In short; this is a kernel bug. It is NOT pretty. I don't know WHAT causes
it. I can't even reproduce it. Which makes fixing it a LOT harder. If
*ANYBODY* has seen this, or can reproduce it, PLEASE *PLEASE* email me.
And if you've recovered *WITHOUT* backups (this directory was NOT included
in the last backup, by mistake), *PLEASE* share. Files are affected DURING
the bug, files written afterwards have NO problems. Directories are NOT
affected. Only files. And it can and WILL dive into directories.
