Hello All,
Well, I have more bad news to report. Based on the discussion in this
thread, I went out and bought an SSD to run obelisk. Unfortunately, I
am still seeing the exact same errot behaviour, just at a much faster
rate. Therefore, I think we can safely conclude that this is *NOT* a
race condition involving slow hard disks, but some sort of bug in the
code itself.
