Ok, it looks like 5784 is the source of the problem here.

Ned's 5784-related fixes (EventSensorInterruptFix, etc) don't seem to 
help for this case.

I wonder if we might be better off reverting 5784 and trying it again 
at the beginning of the next alpha cycle, since it seems to be quite 
destabilizing, and we're about to go to beta. (and it was labelled as 
an experiment, after all)

Or do we think these problems are easily fixable?

Anyway, no updates today... the BFAV is currently unusable with a 5816 
image on OS X. (although I think it was ok on Windows, I may try that 
tomorrow)  I'm running into various "21364.eml does not exist" errors 
which I think are related to the 5784 problem.
