Comment (by phk):

 Well, the corruption would have to come from varnishd, since varnishlog
 opens the shared memory segment read-only.

 We've seen things like it, if two varnishd processes were started with the
 same (or no) -n argument.

 A recent commit added some pid-checks to try to prevent that.

 Is there any chance that two concurrent varnishd processes could explain
 your observation ?

 Typically it would be something like killing varnishd (the master process)
 and restarting it, before the worker process of the first varnishd had
 terminated.
