It's great that you've provided the test case for us.  Unfortunatley I
had to greatly reduce the working set size.  I don't have enough RAM to
run with the paramters you provided  w/o hitting swap.   When I reduce
transactions, attributes, timesteps, and samples, I don't see a crash
with 4 processors and either 1 or 2  pvfs2 servers.  

Since you know this test program better than I do, can you come up
with a set of parameters that provides a sort of minimum failure test?
If the test only fails for these parameters, that's also good to know
(and I'll try to find some systems with more memory I can test on).
