I've investigated a little further and it seems that they don't really
'fail'. Just start taking significantly longer to insert, and the
messages start backing up and eventually stop being sent because
they're not being acknowledged. I can see a few "WARNING: pgstat wait
timeout" messages around the time that this is happening in the
syslog.
Thanks,
