Thanks go out to:
Phillip Brown from Compaq, who suggested how to find the corrupted files, and even provided size information.
And, to:
Dr. Thomas P. Blinn from Compaq, who pointed me in the direction of a restore of the root area for the client (performed on the file system from the host, with the client down) that got us back up and running.
Thanks for the help!
