Some additional testing.
Suspecting a bad hard drive, I ran more extended tests on all four
members of the RAID array. One showed problems:
"Error 1 [0] occurred at disk power-on lifetime: 6777 hours (282 days + 9
hours)",
" When the command that caused the error occurred, the device was active
or idle.",
"",
" After command completion occurred, registers were:",

"",

So I did the obvious: I failed and remove the drive from the array. The
problem still showed up, but not as many fails in the same data set.
I have since added the drive back to the array, and am testing the
array now.
mdadm --monitor --test --oneshot /dev/md0
I begin to wonder if I have a bad motherboard.

Does anybody read signatures any more?
