I definitely can't rule that out as a possibility, but it does make
it difficult to explain how the old driver works on this machine.
I'm typing this message from the machine in question.  Among other
things it is building in the neighborhood of twenty ports, recompiling
the JDK for the fifteen millionth time :/, CVSup'ing, running a bunch
of rxvt's, and generally working its rump off without even the 
slightest hint of corrupted or flaky disk.

All that aside I'm willing to look closer into the possibility of
this being the problem.  How does one go about obtaining a copy of
the raw disklabels?  And once I have them how do I verify them for
correctness?

Thanks.
