Agreed, that smell is the reason I'm proceeding so far like this is an
obscure bug rather than something with my hardware or install. The CPU
is an Intel i7 870 using HyperThreading to simulate 8 cores, 16GB of
RAM. The database is on a single regular SATA drive. I simplified the
storage setup before I started public reports.
