My soultion to really strange bugs that really should not occur (loading
basic software, reading files, etc.) is to assume that there is some
hardware problem that only occurs in some cases. If possible try
a "logical" swap of the machine (run the mail server on another
physical machine), swap boards with another machine, or report a
hardware problem. (Strange bugs fixed this way include traps when
adding big nums in the salvage program (recopy of the world did not
do it), failures in opening files for Load System (between 1% and 50%
failure, but always worked on retry)). You might also try recopying
the world, but that does not sound like it is needed(?). Beacuse the
retry works, it sounds like hardware.
