Now that I removed them, the system is rock solid again. I have been unable to reproduce the problem (interesting how some problems show up only on production systems), so I was unable to file a PR. IMHO, all these issues should be written in the errata. I can affort not using snapshot, but having an instable system (and an angry boss) is killing me.
