Debian 9.1 with MATE installed from DVD set.
Due a non-reproducible sequence of events, a binary executable was over

Just to (maybe?) help with the proper focus, was this a human error or
something that seemed to happen without human intervention?
As I replied to Reco, "Cannot reproduce detailed PEBKAC ;< "
Ok, then, it doesn't seem to indicate a disk problem (as some seemed to
suspect).
Reco's comment that it could be a "(mis)feature" and Greg's response led
me to investigate further. I'm personally convinced there is a bug
having some aspects of being a "corner case".
I think I can create some repeatable test cases. It'll take some time.
I may not be a computer geek, but decades in engineering and/or customer
support can be enlightening.
