Hm, OK. I'll try that then. I also have another problem with /home (log
corruption causing mount failure), but the emails I sent to the list
about that seem to have been caught in limbo for no good reason (I just
got a Mailer-Daemon message saying there was an SMTP timeout talking to
oss's mail server, yet it's odd that these messages don't get stuck).

Eric Sandeen had a brief look at it on IRC before he went to bed, but
not long enough to draw a conclusion. At least I have a rough idea of
what data I can collect now, and I'll be posting a message about it
shortly :)
