Always possible. I didn't report this until I had replicated the crash
and seen exactly the same thing twice. I've seen it crash on this
assertion 6 times now. Bad hardware is not normally so consistent.

I do have another system that's almost identical to this one, except for
the hard drives. If progress on tracking down the problem stalls I can
try to duplicate this on there.

I kicked off another test that includes the block number just before Tom
suggested it, so I should have the block by tomorrow at the latest. The
range of runtime before crash is 3 to 14 hours so far.
