....this is in fact worse than I first thought. After leaving the
machine running overnight the tmpfs is reduced to a size of 4K, which
shows that tmpfs is in fact
completely unusable for me. See the output of df:

I'm not sure what triggered this further reduction in size; but the
above 4K size is probably important to show how dramatic this goes
wrong.
