Huh. Well that answers that;
The new software is performing remarkably well from a CPU & RAM perspective. as in using 1/6th of what it was previously to accomplish the same thing.
It did not, however, stop throwing the bizarre errors, and I suspect there is either something physically wrong with the host it's on, something majorly corrupted in the VM OS install, or the divine wrath of a moderately irked deity has descended upon us. Having already performed an exorcism and sacrificed a chocolate bunny and bathed in the purest mountain dew to cleanse of evil influences, the next cleanest approach is to nuke the DB VM back to a clean install and rebuild it from ground zero to see if it can be reclaimed or must be consigned to a slow cruel death.
90% of the time in that process is in creating backups of the DB and moving them somewhere safe, followed by moving them back in after the fact. It will take me a while to sort the logistics on that out so in the mean time, assume another down time will be coming, eventually.

It's not having what you want - It's wanting what you've got.
