This is very interestng to me - my successful ZFS+HAST only had
a single drive, but in my new setup I am intending to use two
HAST processes and then mirror across thhem under ZFS, so I am
likely to hit this bug. Are the processes stable once launched ?

I dont have a system on whcih to try your patch at the moment, but will do
so when I get the opportunity!
