    Yes, I know about this issue. I think that getting some more RAM would make
    this issue go away (perhaps with truly high commit intervals, like, say,
    one hour -- I would have to experiment to see if I can take such risks).

    Nice that you pointed out about the start/stop cycles, though.

    Thanks, Rogério Brito.
