I've done this many times on this machine, both with and without ccd.
Also, it's been compiling most of packages-current recently, and it
can run like 4 simultaneous compilations without even flinching.

The crash so far has only happened during iozone.  It will crash with
100% probability if I run iozone on a ccd with a separate make
process.  It crashes less frequently if there is only one iozone on a
single ccd.  It did die with multiple iozone's on non-ccd disks too.

 * That is only stressing the memory system from the ``host'' port, not
 * from the PCI bus master port.  Interactions between the two is what
 * really streeses the memory system to the limits.

I see.
