	I have concluded that this is the result of somekind
of vinum/hardware incompatibility. The problem in question
occured during the upgrade to faster disks, specifically,
Seagate Cheetah ST318453LC on a DELL 2450. If I swap back
the old Quantum Atlas 36G disk, the problem entirely
disappears. The new disks function ok with UFS partitions
but not vinum. It is 100% repeatable.

	Don't know why.
