Hi Pluggers,

Anyone on the kernel developers mailing list?  If so, please forward the
following message to that list for me.  Given the current, elusive, bug
involving file system corruption, my report may be of some interest.

Thankyou!

Since installing Kernel 2.2.9 I have experienced 2 power failures, each
causing system reboot.

Following reboot and automatic e2fsck, a file, of size zero, has
appeared in the directory I was working in at the time of the power
failure.  No files were missing, and no corruption of the legitimate
files was evident.  The name of the file, on the most recent occasion,
was "next"; it was something like "arraylist", or "listelement" prior to
that.
