I ran doublewrite on my server.  I bumped up the threads
to 20 and was easy able to generate a problem.  

I wrote a script that submitted 1 doublewrite process
to each of 20 nodes, to more mimic what I am doing.  I ran
these for 6 hours and did not have a problem.  It could
be that my jobs are putting more of a load on the system,
or the problem isn't the same.

However, since the doublewrite test passes on a uni-processor
kernel, I am rebuilding my kernel and will rerun my test
to see if it works or not.  

The codes might not be the same, but if it is a race condition
there still might be something similar there.
