Everything was fine last night. I'm assuming prelink was the culprit.
However, last time prelink was updated was 2 days ago, not 1, so last
night would have been the second time it was run, not the first.
Weird...
Interesting....
A couple days ago my co-worker was telling me that he turned on his
previously fine FCv1 laptop and most of his binaries were hosed. On
examination the binaries had log files (/var/log/*) contents
interspersed through them. He reinstalled.
It could be complete unrelated of course.
