I did a portsnap just before my previous mail. It downloaded and extracted the
particular file without problem.

Another data-point: I'm on 8.2-RELEASE amd64 as well and it doesn't show a
problem. So it could well be a CURRENT specific problem. But I would think
that the filesystem code would be pretty mature by now. Maybe some changes in
VFS?

Since portsnap cannot find the file in question, I assume you have checked
that it existed and that it was a normal file etc?

Could it be a hardware issue? Some time ago I began to have random filesystem
corruption and lockups. After cleaning out two years worth of dust out of the
machine in question it now runs fine again.
