I doubt it's been fixed properly. Keep in mind this happened between July and September 2004 and the OS was patched to the latest version the entire time.
This is simply the encryption of the entire user's home directory. I had this enabled on my powerbook stuffed it with a few gigs of data and it ran fine for a while... maybe like 3 months. Then one day on a reboot the thing silently lost all my personal settings and dropped me into a stock desktop configuration. Was nursing this for a week or two when I started getting garbage in some source files. Was thinking maybe the hardrive was defective but have a hunch the enctyption just went haywire and was getting worse. Turning File Vault off failed with an error. Have reinstalled the os keeping a plain text home dir and things seem dandy.

Jobs' macmini is looking better by the minute...

I've witnessed something like this http://www.okay.lu.nyud.net:8090/biller/error/atm. jpg in Cambridge, UK at a Countrywide atm earlier this year.
Has anyone seen this before?
