Hmm, too bad pulling the obvious threads didn't yield anything.  If you
start seeing this happen regularly, maybe you could run a few of the
clients that are likely to hit the problem with the debugging port open so
you can connect in after the fact and try to figure out what's going on...

And it's good to know that load by itself isn't the sole cause of the
problem; it may contribute to hitting some other bug due to a race
condition or timeout of some sort, but it isn't the sole cause.
