How reproducible is the problem? Not very :-( I triggered it twice on a 40 CPU box. It can go approximately 1 month before it triggers. And the box we are testing on is currently a loaner, and we have it on extension right now. Which means we wont have it much longer. But perhaps that's the place to fix things.
