Remember me I sent this note:

I have gotten some replies (little help at all from Sun Support though). I
appreciate the efforts. Its gotta be a disk problem so I am going to
reformat the disk - start from scratch but I thought I would add another
symptom.
After a "incident" I can usually find a core file (cron, update etc..). If
I run adb it tells me that the file dumped because of a "bad magic
number". This sort of indicates to me ( I am grasping at straws) tha the
file system(s) are f**cked.
