They'll still get some "out of sync" error and get disconnected, I  
think. Next login would anyway work again.

But looking at the index files you sent me they weren't corrupted at  
all, so the problem is that the in-memory views of the indexes get  
somehow broken. Do you use mmap_disable=yes? You could try switching  
that setting the other way. What about lock_method?

Did this problem start only with rc15? What version were you using  
before?
