I thought Jeff would respond to this topic, but since he has not, let me say
he was at ANL last week for another reason, and we traced the problem to the
fact that CAS is swapping the byte order each time the request is sent.
This causes it to be garbage every other time when it is (1) postponed on
(2) machines that do not have network byte order (e.g. Linux).

That it has not happened more often is because there is usually no need to
postpone write requests.  A slider on a fast machine can cause it to happen,
however.

It will be fixed in base at some point.
