This weird behaviour doesn't even survive making a copy (cp -a) of the whole repository, so I very much doubt making it available would be illuminative. My disk's SMART data seems okay. The weird-quotient just rose a bit.

Besides, .git/ is 60MB and my upload speed is 128kbps. A bit inconvenient.

http://www.bpj-code.co.za/downloads.php/bugs/TwoStageAmp-output.net?text contains the output from git show a5ee1e7. Leave off the ?text for an application/octet-stream download.

That file (with the Q1 line present) is consistent with the earlier commit that added the file. It's diff-files that's lying.
