Ok - the "small" box has been running with this patch since yesterday
evening - I ran some stress testing on it for some hours yesterday, and
will be working on the machine all day today.

So far, it seems like the patch at least hasn't broken anything (if I
had file corruption I should have noticed already, because the testing
I've been doing is some large compile/link jobs - those things tend to
fail if the .o files are corrupted).

It's a little early to say if it solves the problem. I would say it
looks good so far - but let's see.

We'll also have to see about the test setup duplicating the "large" box.

I'll let you know if anything breaks - and I'll ask to have the patch
included by the end of the week, if the small box hasn't hosed itself by
then.
