Well.  I checked the hard drive (read-only) in another machine, it
reports no errors.  S.M.A.R.T. is happy, no relocated sectors or
raw read, seek or CRC errors.  Nothing.

EIDE, no UDMA.  No MD at all, LVM is pretty straightforward, a
lonely 20G disk sliced into two, sitting in an extended partition.
A big partition is actually the only PV, carrying a VG with six
LVs.  No magic, this is supposed to be a workstation.  Kernel is
tracked CVS, compiled with egcs-1.1.2.  No overclock.

The thing hasn't happened since (knock on wood).
