Whoops - to clarify: You may lose the _last_ one or two commits, until
they get flushed to disk.  The one in progress, and maybe the last
successful commit.  Not just any random commit:-)

You can set up checkpointing to limit how long the last successful
commit can be endangered.  ...unless I read the code wrong.  The
manpage says "checkpoint" is only needed with "dbnosync".  Hmm.
