Joshua is testing -rc8 now. He said (in bugzilla entry):
>
> -rc8 proved itself stable for a few days on two test nodes and it's being
> rolled out onto 32 nodes production nodes as I type this.  The bug strikes
> somewhat randomly so it'll take time for it to pop up in -rc8 if it's still
> there.  Heavy jobs will be running over the weekend and should trip this
> issues if it's still in there...

So we're waiting for his verdict.
