Recently I was bitten by #303656 on an old router with little memory.
With the information in that report I was able to resolve my issue.
In conjunction with that, I propose the attached patch to incorporate
aj's statement regarding the semantics of the TMPFS_SIZE parameter.
The additional information in the comments will probably help another
administrator avoid this problem in the future.
