Is that the cdrom?

When windows doesn't get an answer in a reasonable time, it starts
issuing bus resets. That code path is not very well tested... and there
are at lease two reports of performance problems with physical cdrom
devices (eg /dev/hdc). Possibly the bus reset problem is causing other
problems like crashes under load?

If you haven't already, can you try with the cdrom removed from your
configuration?

Apologies if we're going over existing ground here...

James
