Flash cards tend to be rather flaky given that they are low cost consumer
grade commodities these days. I would recommend getting a new card first
and seeing if you can still replicate the problem. Out of the box, I've
had to replace 2 of 8 flash cards in the last 6 months when they showed
similiarly eerie data corruption when files disappeared. Doing an md5sum
on the device 2 times in a row and getting back different results is Not
Good.
