oh yeah. working on another DBA's databases (he was out ill), and rushed.... in the wrong directory when gzipping and moving files to free up space.

Because Unix keeps the pointers while the file is open, moving the temp  tablespace datafiles away (oops!) and back (phew!) did NOT crash the database.
