OK, I'll spell it out then... if your file system might have been 
transiently failing to serve a file, try the command again. Make a 
backup. Try the backup you may have created previously.

Do some detective work... what was the file size? when was it last 
modified? what size is it now? is 641K the whole file or just part of 
it? What can you deduce from all of this?
