In my test, I run the bash code (the bits that I posted earlier) in a while loop so that the table
is CREATEd, COPYied into, and DROPped every few seconds -- perhaps that wasn't clear.  That loop
is necessary; a few iterations are often successful.

I can test it today on a few other systems to see if it is reproducible.
