Ruth,
When I was at another company, we had something happen that was kind of
similar, and intermittent enough that Sun never figured out what was wrong
(at least by the time I left they hadn't).  Occasionally, we would get a
piece of code (apparently) onto a particular block on the disk such that
the whole thing would appear as a stream of 0's, during the compile but if
you edited the file it looked perfect.  The only solution was to copy the
file to someplace else.  In hope that we just had an unidenti- fiable bad
block we left the old (presumably bad) file where it was.  I can't
remember for sure whether this solved the problem forever or not.

Anyway, this sounds a little bit like what you were seeing and Sun never
knew what was wrong.

Sun at one point decided that maybe it was because of the disk config-
uration we had, but they never confirmed this.
