Yes, it is an IDE box. Also, I should mention that there
was also a case of data corruption in last build that occurred
long before the crash.

I will try your suggestion. Since the only reliable way I have
found to repeat the problem takes about 12 hours, it may be that long
before I have results to report back. Thank you for the quick response.
