This only seemed to help for a while. Again have trouble w/ broken repos. But the strange thing: seems to affect only large ones. For example, could got clone and repeatedly gc --aggressive the git source w/ trouble.

If it *is* any hw problem (which isnt that unplausible since that machine is the only one making trouble now), how can I detect it ? Shouldnt broken memory or disk raise some kernel log message ?
