Yep...that's exactly what I'm afraid of.  That's also why I only bump my
"Buffers" statement up to "Large" during newsgroup-only
processing runs.  The "too large" error in the logs helps
identify who needs to be added to SQTool's kill filter. ;)

Maybe it's time for Squish to get a keep-by-size parameter added to
keep-by-days and keep-by-qty. :)
