And as far as I can tell, that's the _only_ corruption in the whole file,

Does anybody see a pattern?

Was this pack created on a journaled file system? Reiserfs? Ext3?

If there's journal corruption in a commonly used filesystem,
That Would Be Bad.

I would suspect the Reiserfs 'file tail' behavour and journalling
have something to do with it, only because I still use and like
ReiserV3+LVM (dynamic grow and offline shrink baby!).

Only something like silently knifing files in the back would cause me
to leave my beloved RedrumFS.

Which I probably should. Eventually. Once ZFS changes it's license. HA!
