So, as very first thing, can you try the following:
- Same codebase, etc. etc.
- Make the test 4 times, discard the first and ministat for the other 3
- Reboot
- Change the steal_thresh value
- Make the test 4 times, discard the first and ministat for the other 3

Then report discarded values and the ministated one and we will have
more informations I guess
(also, I don't think devfs contention should play a role here, thus
nevermind about it for now).

Thanks,
Attilio
