No -- I was seeing the problem on a system compiled before then.  This
didn't start in close proximity to doing an upgrade.  There was at least
a two week delay.  Now, I did try updating to see if that fixed the
trouble, but no joy.

Actually, I do destroy the snapshots, which works just fine.  I tend to
have either 0 or 1 snapshots at any one time.
