        I changed the IDE disk parameters and did the experiments, on
hdc mostly, causing a few controler reset on the second IDE bus. I did
it on hdc because it's not in use (there is no hdd). When I found the
best disk parameters I applied them on hda which is the only disk in
use at present.

        Thanks for reporting this anyway, it's good to see that errors
do not go unnoticed ;-)

        Regarding the delay, it happens because of the sync with
gnudist.  If the connection between subversions and gnudist is slow
for some reason, it may take a while. Note, however, that it only
happens *after* the commit.  Interrupting won't lose anything and the
nightly script on gnudist will catch up if the sync cannot be done for
some reason.

        I hope this helps clarifying the situation,
