Ok folks, these types of errors caused the eventual demise
of our 2.0.5 installation.  I attempted a reboot when the
machine was acting very strangely, and the partition table
ended up getting toasted.  Here is a log showing what happened
within 24 hours of our 2.1 install:

What the hell is going on?  It sounds like a hardware problem, but
we NEVER saw any strange behavior when we installed and were busy
compiling ports on the system or beating up the network.

Thanks,
