My guess is it's a CPU or RAM problem. Corrupt compressed files is often
the result of poor mathematical skills on the part of your system. As
with all minor hardware errors, you are going to see intermittent and
not-entirely-predictable problems. IF you're overclocking, stop. If you
have a Pentium with the FPU bug, get it fixed. If you have a Cyrix/AMD
CPU, off brand motherboard, you might have the problem there. If you are
mixing RAM types or using RAM your motherboard is not designed to handle,
that's almost certainly the problem. Could be almost anything.
The fact that it afflicts both Win95 and Linux indicates that it is almost
certainly a hardware problem.
