The fix may be in kernel 3.19.0-25.26. I did build and install this
kernel and in subsequent stress testing (about 2 hours worth) was unable
to reproduce the defect. It's rare for me to not encounter the defect in
less than 5 minutes of stress testing - might have once made it to about
20 minutes - but never before to two hours. I'm not ready to call it
fixed though just yet.

To begin with I would like to get using an official build of the kernel.
As previously noted I was unable to install the 14.04.3 HWE stack that
contains this kernel.  Here is the command I ran and the problems
encountered:

sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-lts-vivid
xserver-xorg-core-lts-vivid xserver-xorg-lts-vivid xserver-xorg-video-
all-lts-vivid xserver-xorg-input-all-lts-vivid libwayland-egl1-mesa-lts-
vivid

E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by 
held packages.

I suppose I could just install the kernel - but I think it would be
better if I can keep the core system in sync with the LTS releases.
