just a little followup to this: it does not seem to be XFS related
- had the same symptom today now with ext2 too under load and redid
the article fetching without load and it worked fine - so it looks
that are the "usual" 2.4.2 fs problems under load ... will move the
files back to XFS an avoid load in that situations
