Color me skeptical. I've seen some weird bit flips and data corruption;
"paramters" to "paramEters" I could buy. But data corruption that
_inserts_ a hash mark a the beginning of a line of a header file? What
are the odds?

A bitflip in the compressed image could expand the wrong token
resulting in dataloss just as easily as flip character case.

Since reporting this error I've eliminated filesystem and NIC
by substitution, fault occurs on ext2 and Intel pro/100.

Today disabled onboard via-rhine and used Intel pro/100 + e100 driver,
several source trees unpacked identically, running 2.6.12.4 or 2.4.31-hf3

While that seems to point to the Rhine as the possible cause, I can't
see how any driver could possibly be involved in this.

Neither can I, now testing outside of linux, eliminate OS as factor,
or, is it hardware or software?  I dunno...

Grant.
