For anyone interested, it actually is looking like this may be a
hardware problem (failing drive).  Last night the kernel finally logged
something:

Jun 16 01:47:34 yyz kernel: [109471.519056] ata5.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x3 SErr 0x0 action 0x0
Jun 16 01:47:34 yyz kernel: [109471.519067] ata5.00: irq_stat 0x40000008
Jun 16 01:47:34 yyz kernel: [109471.519076] ata5.00: failed command: READ FPDMA QUEUED
Jun 16 01:47:34 yyz kernel: [109471.519091] ata5.00: cmd 60/18:08:af:4b:7d/01:00:5e:00:00/40 tag 1 ncq 143360 in

Jun 16 01:47:34 yyz kernel: [109471.519101] ata5.00: status: { DRDY ERR }
Jun 16 01:47:34 yyz kernel: [109471.519106] ata5.00: error: { UNC }
Jun 16 01:47:34 yyz kernel: [109471.520898] ata5.00: configured for UDMA/133
Jun 16 01:47:34 yyz kernel: [109471.520936] ata5: EH complete

And the timing correleates closely with the failure of a recording:

2011-06-16 01:47:45.275 LFireDev(0025F1FFFE4287C8), Warning: No Input in 50 msec...

2011-06-16 01:47:45.479 LFireDev(0025F1FFFE4287C8), Warning: No Input in 250 msec...
etc...

So, time to put in that NewEgg order...

Thanks to all those who put in suggestions!
