Great, thanks!  

I've patched the server, and so far it's been running without throttling for
36 hours, so it does look fixed (it used to throttle itself at least one a
day, usually few times a day).  

I'll leave it running with no load for couple more days, and then I'll turn
it back in the production to see how it fares.

yes, this looks like best patch to me too. I'll let you know if anything
suspicious pops up in this setup. Thanks again!
