Also, if possible try to capture the offending disk report.  Check the 
good report and the bad one to see if the reporting IP addresses are 
different. It is possible that two machines are reporting with the same 
hostname.

I've seen the 'Worker process died' message when I really screwed up 
something in the client coding.  It likely means that something in the 
client message is out of place, which makes sense given the message you 
see about the disk report.
