Not shure.
I can't find way for collect output of UMA_DEBUG* with current console
server and it can't be replaced before Jan.

But I think UMA* is a wrong idea.
You suppose bad hardware (I'm right?). Possible. But it can be
detected only under heavy load -- when I enabling nagios on this
server. When nagios disabled, machine work perfectly.
With enabled UMA_DEBUG* options server not operable, no one service
starting, we don't have this load and can't reproduce this behaviour.
