There are 2 things you can do:
1- Try with one CPU. The mace driver isn't really SMP safe (I can
fix that). Tell me if it helps.
2- Tell me the mace chip version (printed by the driver during boot)
and try my latest rsync tree as a "workaround" for some broken revs
was found in Darwin and I ported it to the linux driver.
