Thank you very much.  Long story short, the filesystem got corrupted
beyond repair before I realized something was wrong, so I spend my
weekend backing up the bits I still could and recreating it all from
scratch.  *fun* :-/

I even ran memtest before booting up, but everything was fine in the
single-threaded tests it runs by default.  It was only with all cores
actively using memory intensely that something overheated (memory
modules?  chipset?  cpu?  no clue) and started randomly corrupting bits.
So, I'm now back at lower memory clock speeds, and everything appears to
be rock solid again.  Phew!  So, I'm back to debugging the
newly-reported problems and thinking how much further I should extend
testing coverage so that the next round doesn't have to be reverted
again ;-)

Thanks again,
