Does anybody else find this to be rather disturbing?  Was this
just a one-time quirk of the 5D or is this a normal
design-flaw--you know, like prematuraly opening the CF door
while it is still writing?

I shudder to think that it would be this easy to corrupt a CF
card.  No Canon-bashing, just highly concerned as I prematuraly
shut-off my cameras or open the CF doors while file writing
maybe once a month.
