Ok, well I have found very good success in killing this stupid stale
file handle problem in the 2.6.11 kernel by switching from ext3 to ext2
and then rebooting. For the past 5 days not 1 of my developers has
complained about this issue. 
Obviously if this machine goes down and a fsck starts running on the 750
GB of data, I am in some deep doo doo, but for now I am using this as a
way of getting around the problem until someone comes up with a nifty
patch.
