This is almost identical to the behavior I have been experiencing,
although of a lesser degree.
I also see XX=119, but I have also seen XX=255. I am not sure if
there is any significance to this.
The problems seem isolated to the particular partition in which the
heaviest disk activity is occuring. However, I believe that in
some cases corruption of the root system takes place, because I
have observed corruption of some base libraries rendering certain
executables non-functional. This may only occur when installing
packages, but I can't be certain.
