Has anyone else on the list seen a situation whereby an SD card
becomes corrupted?

I had an SD card running Debian in my TS system and was making some
config changes and adding some additional packages.
Over the space of a few days it seemed to be booting and running perfectly fine.

I then tried to make a backup of the SD card (2GB, Sandisk), using dd.
 The dd copy would always fail with an I/O error, at the same place
in the copy each time (approx 235MB into it).  I tried a number of
different PCs and SD card readers but all with the same result.
The problem has gone away with the use of a new SD card.

So what is the mechanism in play that could cause this type of error
on an SD card?

Thanks,
Fred
