Nothing jumps to mind, but I'll crawl through the logs looking for anything
interesting.

For what its worth, we do closely monitor the server for RAID and kernel
errors and haven't seen either variety reported in quite some time.
If it is some mysterious hardware or kernel error -- any suggestions for how
I should go about narrowing that down?
Finally, if it would help to see the full wal segment files, let me know and
I will email individually. (I assume the list doesn't want 32MB of
