I was asking, just in case there was a manual control over the process and I
would have been in a situation where the card was too near of its limits.

I changed a little something in the code yesterday and I was lucky enough to
not have any hangs. I just want to be sure it is because of this little change
I've made and not some obscure planets alignment. I'll test it further today
and I'll let you know.
