If I type the file, the contents appear to be intact.   So far, only 2
files have generated that message. Both created when the Alpha version
of ALLIN1 was installed.

I can't run ana/disk/repair now because backup is still running.
Something definitely askew, but my priority is to get the disk copied to
another one first.  I know that ana/disk/repair spots a whole bunch of
errors about some bit not  properly set (likely due to file not being
properly closed when system is shutdown, but I had never seen those before).
