I don't believe the file was actually deleted, but instead had just 0
bytes of data.  My guess is that someone did an operation (such as
removing a user who spammed trac) which would cause the password file
to be rewritten.  If there weren't enough resources to write the file,
I believe you'd see such behavior.
