Addtionally, have you considered the possibility of a hardware
problem? I had a fileserver once which worked perfectly in "normal"
service, but died regularly and inexplicably whenever large amounts
of data were transferred over the network to the backup machine.
Turned out to be a motherboard problem, possibly in combination
with some of the other components, because we were never able
to reproduce the problem outside of that particular machine...
