Yes, the timings are consistent here.

I'd love to, but I'm afraid I won't have time to do this any time soon.
Maybe on Sunday. I'll see if I can get a script to generate the database
on Sunday and hope for it to replicate the issue.

Would you mind if I coded it using Ruby? (can you run Ruby code in your
computer?) I mean, for filling with some sample data.

Right now I need to concentrate on getting a working solution for 9.1
and downgrade the database and work in several other requested fixes.
That is why I'm out of time for writing this test case right now... I'll
try to find some time on Sunday and will post here if I can replicate.

Thank you so much!

Rodrigo.
