For the record, I remade my buffindexed overview as regular files and ran
makehistory (which took 12 hours).  Since then I've seen no problems with
overview corruption.  I'm still running stock 2.3.0.

There probably ought to be a note about not using block devices for
buffindexed overview with Sol2.6.

Thanks for all of your assistance.
