If you look at where the file is broken, you see what looks like some evolution config code in the middle of some screen setup. If you look at that with a hex editor, you see that the corruption occurs from about $45000 to precisely (!) $46000 in the file, which would be the VM page size of my machine (Athlon @ 1800MHz, crash free even under compiler load). Draw your conclusions...
I should note that I saw the cyclic fsck on boot reclaim something on the / partition the last time it ran. This should not happen with ext3 journaling enabled, right? (/dev/hda5 / ext3 rw,errors=remount-ro 0 0, /dev/hda7 /home ext3 rw 0 0)
