We had this once, but it hasn't re-occurred so I'm not entirely sure what
happened (also under svscan).

Unless it re-occurs, I can't really justify looking into it, but please
contact the list is it happens again - it's definitely worth trying to
collect information on this behaviour to see if we can fiure out what's
causing it
