hmm. well, it does change slightly.  It's harder to reproduce on the
command line but occasionally still happens:

	nlager# time mkdir gah
	0.0u 0.0s 0:00.14 0.0% 0+0k 16+6io 0pf+0w
	nlager# time mkdir geh
	0.0u 0.0s 0:00.11 0.0% 0+0k 12+5io 0pf+0w
	nlager# time mkdir floob
	0.0u 0.0s 0:00.09 0.0% 0+0k 11+6io 0pf+0w
	nlager# time mkdir gaz
	0.0u 0.0s 0:00.16 0.0% 0+0k 11+6io 0pf+0w
	nlager# time mkdir slurp
	0.0u 0.6s 0:25.62 2.6% 0+0k 3591+6io 0pf+0w

not sure if that's just a coincidence or not.  while untarring pkgsrc.tar.gz
again it got as far as pkgsrc/archivers/gcpio/pkg/CVS/Repository before 
choking.  It would occasionally do that before as well.
