I don't know ... this problem has me nervous, but I can't seem to
re-create it on the fly :(  It happened twice so far today, and I'm
working on improving logging to see if I can narrow it down ...

I would like to *at least* postpone until Wednesday to see if I can
recreate this between now and then ... will spend a good part of tomorrow
seeing if I can get a more decent amount of data logged, to narrow her
down ...

We still have to write up a release announcement (can someone summarize
the key features of v7.0?), so that gives us a little bit of time ...
