If other suggestions fail, it may be a simple case of cd_text being hosed.
My suggestions are as follows:
1) copy cd_text cd_text.temp
2) rm cd_text
3) mv cd_text.temp cd_text
That should give you a (resonably) clean copy of cd_text. Hopefully, things
will return to normal.
Please note: This may or may not work, depending on how hosed the file is,
if it's hosed at all. It also assumes that you'll be able to get a clean
copy from cd_text; this may not be possible. I know these suggestions sound
a little bit iffy, and that's 'cause they are, but it's worked for me in the
past.
