The ONLY data corruption that I saw when my laptop died was *ALL* of
the +CONTENTS files going away.  It seems to have died during the
updating of the meta-data for the dvdauthor port.  Why all the files
of unreleated packages would disapper is a mystery to me, unless
mergemaster, or one of the pkg tools, deleted them all, and then
wanted to rewrite them and I got screwed between these two steps.

Wouldn't it be better of a +CONTENTS~ file were left in place during
this process and have that be removed afterwards?
