This problem has recurred. Doubtless we can reformat+reinstall again
and the problem will disappear for a time. I think this is indicative
of serious low-level disk problems and the hard disk, or perhaps the
entire machine, should be replaced.
I've left it in the broken state now.
You guys have permission to nuke the contents of the disk and/or
replace it.
