    Like I said, this is a "known" problem. What I don't understand is why you
see it happen so often. It takes literally *months* of heavy system activity
for me to reproduce this sometimes, which is why it has taken so long to fix
it. We'll be looking at this problem again this week, but I can give no
guarantees that it will be fixed in the 2.1.5 release.
