Thanks to:

Everyone suggested running fsck on the filesystem (after unmounting
it). I did so, and though no errors were reported, the problem could
not be recreated afterward.

Claus sent a shell script for checking coredumps. Assuming he okay's
my doing so, I'll provide copies to anyone who asks.
