More information...

I believe this issue is caused by some race condition among the directio 
threads.  From my testing, it appears that the corruption stops (or at least 
hasn't shown up in my testing) if I either switch to using the alt-aio trove 
method or if I reduce the number of directio threads to 1.

Hope this is useful.
