Often because of a power failer (or the computer hangs), information might be partially written to the disk. This is aggravated by buffers for open files: information is not written to disk immediately.
Using the FLUSH command after making changes to each and every record (after TableUpdate(), if you use buffering) should reduce the corruption considerably.
