Hi Bob,
The problem seems to have cleared itself up. This is a particularly
odd machine at the moment, so the multiple reactivates (actually
multiple desyncs) may well be due to some other problem.
I'm bringing up the load on the system gradually to see what breaks
when, and I'll look for odd behaviour from reactivate if I start
seeing processes build up again.
My general feeling at this time is it isn't reactivate or desync
causing problems -- it's something more basic with lots of side
effects.
