That's a pretty big ax for killing a medium sized fly, but it works.
As I said, there's a bug that's fixed in 2.0.1 which may be the one
you're looking at, and no, it's not likely we'll back port the fix
to 1.5.x.

I guess that could be related because the bug happens during index
clean up with contention, so if your indexes are dirty, you're more
likely to see it. Many people schedule a sweep nightly or daily
during a low usage time. A regular daily (or nightly) backup has
nearly the same effect.
