So, the patch is finally in.  At least from the first superficial
glances, the system now feels more stable than before: a big Synth
upgrade marathon previously easily got the machine down, yesterday it
went through.  I’ll have to do a few more stress tests, perhaps on a
second machine, before I can tick that off.

I’ll keep you posted.
