These mysterious failures were discussed several times before in
zaurus-devel[1][2][3][4][5][6]. We suspected PCMCIA code, RAM errors or
bad voltage.
Typical reproducers:
git status on kernel tree (false result)
copy files from CF to SD or USB (errors in files)
gcc while using CF WLAN or CF Bluetooth (segfault)
It happened in all kernels at least since 2.6.26, but probably in all
2.6 kernels.
