After three months spent being shipped from Canada to Ireland in some pretty cold weather with no doubt many hard jolts, ZFS found and repaired just 128Kb  out of 2.93Tb of data, or 0.004%. As a single bit error is reported by ZFS as 4Kb, let us assume that was 32 bit flips, in which case that was an error rate of 1.242 x 10^-12, or about 1000 times more than I typically see in this configuration. Thank you very much ZFS!
