Hi Les,

Just a quick follow up.

I ran into the issue a few times after posting and noted that I was  
not short on memory.

I did update to 5.6 and the problem seems to have gone away.

I'm not real comfortable trying a bind mount as suggested in that bug  
report as I can't really understand what it means to bind mount a  
local volume.
