I tried "fs flush" on the file, but I keep getting the same error.
md5sum keeps returning the same checksum I got earlier,
de1e6b48191d99701f9c23d70ac6cd57

Here are the relevant lines from my /var/athena/update.log this time
around:

Beginning update from 9.3.18 to 9.4.18 at Mon Nov  7 20:36:27 EST 2005.
