Good to hear it helped.

I have no idea, sad to say... My mips' SCSI bus has been dead since
september or so :-(  I have finally found some donators of VL BT445S
cards (yeah, VL is crappy, but that is what my Tyne boots from), so my
ARC box will probably live again in a few weeks, but I bet you have
had time to test Haifa again well before that.

This construct was clearly something aggressive schedulers could trip
upon, so I am not surprised to hear Haifa bit the dust right there too.
