I believe I finally have an answer for our problem. We had a corrupted
filesystem. The filesystem was repaired a week ago. I haven't had any
problems since.
It seems that the Linux OS gets very confused in its bookkeeping when a
filesystem fills up. We've seen this many times, and the end results is
always lots of corrupted files.
