I let gc run last time to get rid of the complaint, so I cannot answer
that question. It's probably the pack limit if that is newer, since the
object count was so low.

But you never answer the question on whether you really consider any
form of autopacking or auto gc sane? Next time some other limit is added
for auto gc, it'll be annoying once more.
