Of course moments after I sent that it finally occurred to me to look further
back in dugong's history and its previous failing periods were with exactly
the same errors. So the bgwriter changes are off the hook.

And given the consistency and the fact that the other icc machines didn't show
the same problems it sounds like it's something about that machine, not a
software problem.
