Only one reply on this one, from Alex Theodore <alex@fuzzycheese.com>,
who suggested the T3 cache is being overrun, and that T3's are
"notorious for doing this sort of thing." Thanks, Alex.
A Sunsolve search turned up the availability of a firmware upgrade for
the T3, in the form of Patch 109115 (current rev is -15). This is a flash
upgrade that'll have to be performed with the array inactive.
