I don't know how they got corrupted, but it may have been caused by hangs during major filesystem activity. Since I deleted them I can't provide some sample files, but I remember that there was one without a section header (e.g. "[Desktop Entry]") and trunkated at a random point (or at the end of a sector). The other one consisted of just unreadable binary content (obviously from another file). A simple plausibility check or validation of the file content would prevent such problems in the future.
