First, my thanks to all of you for looking into this.

It's taken more than a month, but the problem has recurred without 
snapshots ever having been run.  I've got a good trace of the machine in 
this state (ftp://ftp.fedex.com/incoming/no-snapshots.bz2).  My apologies 
for the size of the debug output, but the processes had really stacked up 
this time before I noticed it.

I have enough capacity that I can afford to have this machine out of 
production for a while, so I've left it suspended in kdb for the time 
being in case additional information is needed.  Please let me know if 
there's anything else I can do to facilitate troubleshooting this. 
Thanks!
