First, thank you to all that responded.

My original thought was that perhaps we're experiencing "soft errors". We shipped several thousands of systems and a very small number of them (3 to 4 units) are showing this problem. I'm still waiting for these systems to come back to us...

Meanwhile I found out that although we (Engineering) specified "SanDisk ONLY" (only because they do wear leveling), our purchasing bought from other manufacturers as well (Toshiba, Crucial, Kingstone). Crucial is absolutely the LEAST reliable CF (system down!) and furthermore, their "lifetime warranty" is a joke.
