narayan kernel: Kernel panic: EXT2-fs panic (device 03:02):
ext2_free_blocks: freeing blocks in system zones - Block = 52, count = 1
This was in my syslog afterwards:

Nothing else strange before or after this. Magic sysrq rebooted the system cleanly.
03:02 is a partition containing only kernel and other source code.
About two minutes before this I had begun to notice strange behavior,
Makefiles and config.h in a project I was working on suddenly became full
of random binary crap.
After reboot there was no serious corruption, e2fsck mentioned
config.h as having a deleted but not cleared inode or some such, sorry
but my memory fails me. Also a bunch of inodes with zero dtime.
Further deatils on request
This was completely "unprovoked" and it has never happened to me
before. Ideas?
