Why does this setup not survive a node crash?

Could anyone else please take a peek at this an sanity check my configuration. I'm quite frankly at a loss and tremendously under the gun ...

Thanks in advance to any kind souls.

Subject: Why does this setup not survive a node crash?

Perhaps someone will see immediately, given the data below, why this configuration will not survive a crash of one node - it appears that any node crashed out of this set will cause gluster native clients to hang until the node comes back.

Given (2) initial storage servers (CentOS 5.5, Gluster 3.1.1):

Starting out by creating a Replicated-Distributed pair with this command:
gluster volume create test-pfs-ro1 replica 2 jc1letgfs5:/export/read-only/g01 jc1letgfs6:/export/read-only/g01 jc1letgfs5:/export/read-only/g02 jc1letgfs6:/export/read-only/g02

Which ran fine (thought I did not attempt to crash 1 of the pair)

And then adding (2) more servers, identically configured, with this command:
gluster volume add-brick test-pfs-ro1 jc1letgfs7:/export/read-only/g01 jc1letgfs8:/export/read-only/g01 jc1letgfs7:/export/read-only/g02 jc1letgfs8:/export/read-only/g02
Add Brick successful

root at jc1letgfs5:~# gluster volume info

Volume Name: test-pfs-ro1
Type: Distributed-Replicate
Status: Started
Number of Bricks: 4 x 2 = 8
Transport-type: tcp
Bricks:
Brick1: jc1letgfs5:/export/read-only/g01
Brick2: jc1letgfs6:/export/read-only/g01
Brick3: jc1letgfs5:/export/read-only/g02
Brick4: jc1letgfs6:/export/read-only/g02
Brick5: jc1letgfs7:/export/read-only/g01
Brick6: jc1letgfs8:/export/read-only/g01
Brick7: jc1letgfs7:/export/read-only/g02
Brick8: jc1letgfs8:/export/read-only/g02

And this volfile info out of the log file /var/log/glusterfs/etc-glusterd-mount-test-pfs-ro1.log:

Any input would be greatly appreciated. I'm working beyond my deadline already, and I'm guessing that I'm not seeing the forest for the trees here.
