What conditions can cause the reset of the resilvering

FOLLOW-UP AND NEW QUESTIONS
Here is a new piece of evidence - I've finally got something
out of fmdump - series of several (5) retries ending with a
fail, dated 75 seconds before resilvers restart (more below).
Not a squeak in zpool status nor dmesg nor /dev/console.
Guess I must assume that the disk is dying indeed, losing
connection or something like that after a random time (my
resilvers restart after 15min-5hrs), and at least a run of
SMART long diags is in order, while the pool would try to
rebuild onto another disk (the hotspare) instead of trying
to update this one which was in the pool.
Please share if SMART offers anything useful.
I plan to run the tests after (if, when) the resilver completes
as to not disturb the system. So far I got smartmontools-5.42
compiled and it sees the disks :)
I am not sure if it would indeed run the self-tests and
report back - this seems to be not supported by disk(?):
# /usr/local/sbin/smartctl -x /dev/rdsk/c1t2d0 -d scsi

I also guess that the disk gets found after something like
an unlogged bus reset or whatever, and this event causes
the resilvering to restart from scratch.
This makes sense.
Good, thanks for the sanity-check ;)
Best course of action would be to get those people to fully
replace the untrustworthy disk... Or at least pull and push
it a bit - maybe it's contacts just got plain dirty/oxidized
and the disk should be re-seated in the enclosure...
Not likely to help. SATA?
Yes, 250Gb Seagate SATA on a Thumper X4500, used since about
May 2008 (last rpool installation date) or maybe before.
