This sounds like a hardware problem. It's likely that incorrect blocks are getting read into the page cache. So when you look at the file, you see incorrect data. When you reboot, that clears the page cache, and file then looks OK again. > It seems this happens during reboot only, and a second reboot mostly fixes > it, at least with /usr/sbin/sshd, but not always.

If the problem is be related to be whether your system is warm booted versus cold booted, that might explain why the second reboot fixes things for you. > Had anyone of you this happening? Every time I've heard of anything like this, it's turned out to be a hardware problem.
