I get this, you don't even have to fsck to get the files back - just 
umount/mount will do it.  I'm not too sure, but I think there were some
occaisions where the files would come back of their own accord without
the umount/mount being done.

have you tried a full boot, or are you still in single-user?

actually, I'm glad somebody else has the same problem as me, even though its
not good for you :) - I was getting worried that my hardware (SS1 clone) was
broken.  I don't know what to do to fix it though.
