I wouldn't rule-out the possibility of a software bug in the
operating-system.  We're running version 2.6.8 of the kernel while's
Bigbird's running version 2.6.5.  There might have been a problem with
(for example) file-locking or multiprocessor interrupts in the earlier
version that's been fixed in the later one.
