Alas, no.  But I have another 5 days to reproduce the problem before
changing hardware/versions (which will probably bring a whole new set of
'opportunities' to deal with).  If it happens again, I will snag the index
file for analysis.

Any way you can share your tool source so I can proactively look for issues
in my indexes?
