Not so much video encoding, but /certainly/ encrypted filesystems should be /all/ screwed up if it's the memory going, and as I mentioned (quoted below), lossless compression such as bzip2, as long as it's checksummed, should be showing it too. > On the weird cached articles issue, I just duped it and the cache files > are messed up.

It could also be the filesystem, but if you're running it on encrypted, then no, shouldn't be, unless it's /just/ the filesystem, on top of the encryption. But thread-races would seem to be the likely culprit. I don't know if you've tried it or are in a situation where you /can/ try it or not, but one alternative is K. Haley's pan git repo. That /does/ mean compiling from source, but unlike gtk/gnome/charles-kerr's upstream, at least it has current activity, patches applied for several things, etc. If you're where you can, trying it would be a good idea. Tho I don't know of any changes at least as posted here that could affect your problem, it's worth trying out, anyway.
