Ok. I won't claim otherwise.

It might be cablings or something. I don't think (hope) it's a dying
drive, since I've seen these errors for a long time, and never lost data.
I had a dying drive some time ago, but that didn't lock up the machine.
I'll see if the drive works on another bus or if any other physical setup
changes affect the matter.
