8.4.1? Well, the *first* thing you ought to do is update to 8.4.10
so we can see if this represents an already-fixed bug. In a quick
look through the release notes I see at least two possibly related
bug fixes, and in any case there are a slew of known crash and data
corruption bugs you are vulnerable to.
