ext2 corruption

All,

I was running 2.3.36 a while ago for quite a bit, and noticed
several files were getting `upset'. Switching to 2.3.42 seemed
to cure the problem for a bit (accompanied by some fcsking),
but it's come back now. Here is the evidence:

korell:~:1# ls /usr/share/doc/mutt/examples/
Mush.rc Muttrc.gz Pine.rc gpg.rc pgp-macros pgp2.rc pgp5.rc ray.muttrc sample.muttrc.gz
korell:~:0# ls -l /usr/share/doc/mutt/examples/
ls: /usr/share/doc/mutt/examples/pgp-macros: Input/output error
total 56
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 462 Dec 2 1998 Mush.rc
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 22093 Feb 16 00:58 Muttrc.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1058 Feb 15 23:57 Pine.rc
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2605 Oct 14 15:16 gpg.rc
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1592 Feb 8 10:58 pgp2.rc
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1636 Jul 6 1999 pgp5.rc
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1979 Feb 15 23:57 ray.muttrc
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4883 Oct 13 1998 sample.muttrc.gz

I've got a dual P3 500, cpuinfo and .config at the
end of the mail. I'll try upgrading to one of the newer 2.3.x
kernels and see if the problem stops.

Cheers,
  Fred.
