I don't think so. It's now happening on 2.0.28 for me as well.
Incidently, I just posted before that I may have solved the problem, but
it's come back - hence the wtmp log:

As I said, I installed the latest libc5 (5.4.23-2) packages and recompiled
2.0.28 from original source. Then I rebooted - it appeared to be working
again because there wasn't any corruption for some time. I left, came home
and then checked on it to fine that it's started again.
Well, I hope I've competely confused all you expoerts out there, because
it's confused me to no end. If anyone has any ideas that please feel free
to voice them - I'd really like to get this sorted out asap.
Regards
