Indeed, replacing the 64 bit brick by a 32 bit brick (like the 3 other ones) seems to make the problem disapear. I still have one issue that I already observed earlier. It is probbaly unrelated, but it may be worth noting: after a few hours of operation, gluster volume status waits forever and never output anything.
