file permission problem

[Kirk Reiser]

I suspect you should unmount that partition and force an fsck on the
partition.  I think Adam may be correct and you are experiencing the
start of diskcurruption.  It is not uncommon for files in a localized
area to start having problems because if a surface abberation starts
it will spread in the same area.  Of course, once you have that
situation it will only get worse not better.
