It seems that your load of updates triggered a new checkpoint (which is
perfectly in order - that is how it works right now) but obviously the
image on the server wasn't in synch with the checkpoints on disk.

This was surely due to the problem Ken has emailed me about, somehow the
server got "hung" while trying to make a checkpoint. Ken toasted the
failed checkpoint and restarted. This means that someone probably lost
some change they did to the master SM.

Given the stability of SM so far I am not overly worried. :) And we will
in time move away from using ImageSegment checkpoints like this.
