This does sound reasonable, and explains the intermittent nature.  I
should note, though, that it sometimes occurs immediately after
mounting owfs.

My logging programs don't use the owfs mounted directory, instead
using the owserver through python.  I'm not using aliases.  I
recall reading about your troubles with them, but didn't put it
together.
