I have seen nearly the same problem after upgrading to -stable at the
weekend. I digged through the commits and went back to
2006.01.25.00.00.00 of -stable as there were many ata and gmirror
commits that time. That helped to get the mirror back alive. I am
willing to test patches as I'm prepared now.
