As an update, so far...without turning news back on again, and after
upgrading the kernel and doing a make world 12hrs ago, things have been
stable *so far*...the first time this happened after we added the drives,
it took about 17hrs or so...subsequent ones generally took 2-4hrs...
I'm going to re-enable news this afternoon and see if adding that extra
thrashing to the system causes a repeat of the problem or not...
