This appeared in only one shot from yesterday. Don't know if it's sensor
related or a write error with the CF card. Hasn't recurred.

Looks like a read error off of the sensor. If it were a write error to
flash, I doubt it would end so coincidently at the edge of the frame.

If it occurs again within 1000 shots, there's a problem... but getting
Nikon to agree will be challenging...

I'm hoping it was a stray cosmic ray...

A flaw from a Holy Nikon? Impossible. It must be a UFO.

It's a sensor read error. CF card errors affect random blocks of
data.
