That is close to describing ours both size and hardware-wise, although it
will be growing significantly larger than that.  I slept well until about a
week ago...  The thing had been running for 9 months without a hit until
then.

I did say "most", not "all"...  It's good to see specifics on DB's similar
in size to ours.
