That was the reason why i posted that info. Later i saw that you did
figure it out to be timing issue.

I'll test it when you post it. 

Other info (my .02 currency units) so far is that i did run little less
than 4 days this previously patches driver under various loads (several
times dbench 32 over two separate drives while compiling with load 20+
before this dbench load) and i didn't have any problems. It just did
the work from day to day. This is relatively short time, but it's at
my experiences so far. So at least the disk access seems to be fine a
little longer period than just booting it up.
