Hmm, not only I see files stuffed with random data but sometimes also with
a block of zeroes (about 3600 consecutive zero bytes in a .depend file)
At one time /var/log/messages said while doing rm -rf:
Dec 10 21:23:04 iapetus kernel: EXT2-fs error (device ide0(3,4)): ext2_readdir: bad entry in directory #152149: rec_len is smaller than minimal - offset=0, inode=0, rec_len=0, name_len=0

Maybe it is a hardware problem?
