Oh, the filesystem time you use explains everything. You were hit by the 
wide-known reiserfs bug. Reiserfs have a tendency to intermix two files' 
contents under some circumstances (high load, power loss, etc.). And 
probably it has nothing to do with prelink.

Solution is to not use reiserfs, at least for vital partitions such as 
root and /usr.
