Well,

The weekend work went rather well, we've got some more work to do but unfortunately we've run into a bug with mysql 4.1.10a that is causing us to make the call to have to eat some attachments and avatars, I know this sucks but let me explain.

Over the weekend we rebuilt the webserver due to some suspicious activity and being wildly out of date. When I rebuilt the server I dumped the database with mysql backup, when I reimported the data back in everything looked good till the next morning when I noticed the images were corrupted.

This is the answer according to vbulletin:

"Corrupted attachments (and avatars) is a known problem with MySQL 4.1.x backups. We have one of our Developers trying to understand the cause of this issue, but we do know the problem is definitely with MySQL 4.1.x. Unfortunately at this time the only fix is to downgrade to 4.0.24 (recommended.)."

There is *NO* chance of a virus, the binary data stored in the database got munged on backup, it's a little known bug with mysql 4.1.x and vbulleting 3.0.x, which bit me in the ***.
