Thanks Alex, I ran the command that you suggested (though I didn't redirect to a file I just copied from the screen). The results are attached.
I don't know what each value means, but I infer from the THRESH all being 000 that it counts down? The lowest WORST value is 093. Is there anything in these results that points to a problem? Other tests I can/should run? Googling isn't helping much.
