 Following up on my earlier comments:
 
 I seem to be able to reproduce the problem reliably by running two
 concurrent "dd" commands (copying data from each of my two SATA
 drives to /dev/null simultaneously), and waiting a few minutes.
 
 Reading off just one of the drives wasn't enough to generate any
 timeout warnings, but reading from both at the same time apparently
 did the trick.
