    Such thing happened to me once, but it traced back to a faulty SIMM. It
    was in the days of 2.0.2x kernel, computer in question is P166, 64 MB RAM,
    IWILL motherboard with built-in AIC 7880 SCSI.

    At some point I started experiencing problems with copying large (tens of
    MB) files. Small files (<1MB) copied quite OK. With big ones, the copy
    just differed from original. What's curious, memtest showed no errors on
    that computer, Windows also ran without problems with those SIMMs. I
    replaced faulty SIMMs with ECC ones, and I don't have any such problems
    for more than a year (knocking on wood)
