Unfortunately, it left the system unbootable, the drive unusable, may have
been a badly timed drive failure.
I have replaced the drive and cannot recreate the bug, even using the same
setup with exact model of drive.

Please consider closed, unless/until I can verify the drive and see if
further forensics duplicate the bug.
