I am wondering if someone has some code
to emulate the innd active file processing.  I have tried to mimick the
problem with my own code, to no avail.  Maybe I'll look into it again soon...
I have heard of other OSes (incl. AIX) having the problem.  I cannot see a
problem in the innd source code though.  There must be a very subtile problem
with timing in our VM system???  I don't know... (YET :-)).
