How much do I need to worry about this?

Hmmm, I don't know... But did the crash in cabe happen many times after
several loadings of the prc tabble?  If it did, then the corruption was
probably actually in the prc file and yes, I would worry about why file
corruption happened on your file system.  If it happened only once, maybe
the samba/network read the table in badly. Who knows, I would call it a
fluke and not worry.  
IF your file system has one bad spot on it... Then it could have more, no?

Worry, is irrelevant... You justt need to be vigilant about your files. :-)
Worry doesn't accomplish anything.

If you worry the whole time you are driving to a place whether you are going
to get a parking spot near the building or not... Does it help?  :-)

By the way, in 30 years, I have not seen cabe corrupt any files.  Maybe some
other occurrence while you are saving a file might have ruined it. Or you
did some kind of change that didn't take properly, say a block delete...
Heck, that would probably give you the syntax error, but I still don't see
why it would crash cabe.  Although... To contradict myself, I did see cabe
crash out a few weeks ago on a declare duplication....  I know this was
fixed years ago, but as soon as I fixed the declare'd dup... The crash went
away.  Still, though, the rcabe program did not muck up the actual file.
