I have an annoying problem with a RAID1 array.

One of the members keeps dropping out of the array:

/dev/md0:
        Version : 0.90
  Creation Time : Sun Jun 28 13:24:02 2009
     Raid Level : raid1
     Array Size : 732571904 (698.64 GiB 750.15 GB)
  Used Dev Size : 732571904 (698.64 GiB 750.15 GB)
   Raid Devices : 2
  Total Devices : 2
Preferred Minor : 0
    Persistence : Superblock is persistent

    Update Time : Wed Nov  4 16:12:36 2009
          State : clean, degraded
 Active Devices : 1
Working Devices : 1
 Failed Devices : 1
  Spare Devices : 0

           UUID : 281b623a:4f01e4e1:36bee1ae:cd0903da
         Events : 0.4682740

    Number   Major   Minor   RaidDevice State
       0       8        1        0      active sync   /dev/sda1
       1       0        0        1      removed

       2       8       17        -      faulty spare   /dev/sdb1

I've run extended SMART self-tests and the manufacturer's diagnostic
test on the drive - in neither case is any error found.

When I try to re-add the disk, reconstruction of the array begins.
However, it always fails, at different points.

Is there another test I can run to see what might be wrong with the
drive?  Could this be a different MD problem?

The machine is running Fedora 10, 
kernel 2.6.27.37-170.2.104.fc10.x86_64.

This is the device that keeps failing:

/dev/sdb1:
          Magic : a92b4efc
