I do recall that we found an bug of a similar *sort* of nature with
log shipping where the slon was getting rather confused when there
were multiple nodes as it only had one file handle for accessing the
archive files, and [mumble, mumble, something about multithreading]
led to that file handle getting lost.

How many nodes have you got?  Just two?  Or more?
