I work for a commercial company, and I did what I could to convince

No, I am just using vinum stripes. The problem seems to have fixed itself
when I got a ufs_readwrite.c update from Matt after it was committed.
This is an interesting problem, since I am not entirely sure what fixed it,
if it is really fixed, etc...
