Actually, I have a test case. I just sent it out to Tom a couple of hours ago.
The quick and dirty is that it shows the problem after running for about 20
minutes on my Xenon system with 8.1.0... I cannot get it to fail on my AMD
system with a much higher load...
I can send it to others who are interested. The e-mail with dump, module and
script is just over 1Mb.

Rob
