I've seen something similar but not identical on only one of the TS7250 (not 
TS7260 but pretty close) - in fact the oldest one out of about 30.

Sometimes if the machine is rebooted due to power off/on, an executable will be 
corrupted and no longer work.  It's not deleted buts its md5sum has changed.  
It seems likely that the program that is corrupted is the one that was running 
at the time.  My application consists of several interacting programs.

I don't think the Linux kernel or even dynamic linker alters files on "disk" 
for running processes, but I've never got to the bottom of it.

Sorry I can't help but you are not alone.
