Below are links to example forum threads which appear to have been corrupted:

In the following case, text at the start of the second item is missing:
http://forums.frugalware.org/index.php?t=msg&th=2024&start=0&rid=0&S=0c7cebfcc6cc3fdd51dcdead42b364a5

In the following case, text appears to have been mixed with text from
another forum entry:

In the following case, text also appears to have been mixed with text
from another forum entry, this time mixing some English and what
appears to be Hungarian:
