Running 3.20121112 on Debian Squeeze.
Since adding a certain directory of files (just a bunch of PDFs) yesterday I am getting errors when I try to use `git annex drop .` when the files aren't present, rather doing nothing or saying 'ok', as it used to do/should do. The errors are of the form `git-annex: fd:10: hGetLine: end of file` and sometimes of the form `git-annex: fd:17: hFlush: resource vanished (Broken pipe)`. In my `daemon.log`, I have the errors
(scanning...) Already up-to-date.
Already up-to-date.
TransferScanner crashed: fd:26: hGetLine: end of file
Already up-to-date.

[many more repetitions]
If I `git annex get` the files and then drop them again, a further attempt at a drop gives all these errors again.
