Ick. For any one of those errors, I would've thought it was Postgres'
fault, but when you have several it's not so clear. Kernel or hardware
flakiness have to be considered as alternative explanations.

2.6.13 is not the latest, nor even close --- can you update the kernel
and see if things get better?
