I've had my partition corrupted beyond recognition every time
i've used Defrag :-)
According to its developer, i have a problem with some memory chip, so that
the data is getting corrupted while residing in memory.
So now i'm waiting for some memory tester to come up, so i could test my
memory thourougly with different patterns. The one i've tried this far,
memtest, which i ftp-ed from somewhere, has always came up with zero(0) errors.
I have read the SIG11 FAQ, so i _do_ know that it can take hours for the
corruption to show up.
