Yes, it is. It's an FC6 box running VMWare server, with a Win 2k3r2 VM and a Vista ultimate VM, both with mingw and msvc animals. I'm still not convinced it's a hardware problem - aside from the fact that it's the same error every time (although, I note in this case it was in check, not installcheck), I would expect at least one of SMART, FC6, VMware or 2k3/Vista to spot that there was a problem. I have also recreated the virtual disks of both VMs since this started happening. I wonder if we're hitting some odd bug in VMware. Anyhoo, unfortunately Baiji wasn't set to keep error builds - I've changed that now and will run it a few times again. I'll also run a sector level check of Narwhal's virtual disk and see if that complains.
