Hey guys,

It looks like you're right, it's working perfectly every time now.

I did the original testing on my own XP SP3 workstation, but I've just
gone and repeated the test on a whole bunch of machines (SP2 and SP3),
and it worked fine on all of them, and also now works fine on the
original workstation.

I have been doing a lot of testing on this pool (disconnecting iscsi
drives and working in degraded mode to test recovery), which has been
causing a few CIFS errors as things timeout.  I'll see if I can get it
to reproduce this problem.
