We've opted to simply script issuing the statements serially, rather
than as a function for this one. Your explanation makes sense, Tom,
though I'm curious why it works in our long-running case (beyond the
issue of fewer indices there). Given that, I'm going to move that we
adopt the serial issuance approach for that process, to save off the
error eventually cropping up there, too.
