One book where we know there are serious problems with the 
Hebrew text and the LXX seems to preserve something closer to 
the original is Samuel.  The Samuel mss. among the Dead Sea 
Scrolls often reflect the LXX text over against MT, especially in 
places where the MT text has been suspect for centuries.  To me 
this suggests that the corruptions we see may have arisen some 
time after the production of the DSS, but it's only a suggestion.

This time, like all times, is a very good one if we but know what to do with 
it.
