We also discussed making the log size larger by default, on small fielsystems,
but that won't help you yet.

My only caution is that manually setting the log to 32m may actually create
a smaller than default log if your backing file happens to be very large.
Just something to consider.  If the backing files are typically around the
4G size of this test (?) then 32m seems reasonable, 128m certainly would
not hurt.
