Even though that distribution just doesn't square with anybody's
reality, you can still increase the pg_stat_statements.max setting to
10k and the problem goes away at little cost (a lower setting is
better, but a setting high enough to cache everything is best). But
you're not going to have terribly much use for pg_stat_statements
anyway....if you really do experience churn at that rate with 5,000
possible entries, the module is ipso facto useless, and should be
disabled.
