Could have been a cosmic ray zap. This is not a joke. Cosmic rays can
pass through a memory chip, altering its contents, and thereby what
functions are affected. Happens in computers all the time. Usually a
power off-on cycle will clear the problem. Unless it starts to appear
with regularity, I could dismiss this as a random event, and not worry
about it.
