Thanks, Frank. I considered your option but opted to suggest a temp file
for safety and recovery. Memory is volatile and would require restart of
the entire process in the event of an abnormal exit. The temp file is not
wasted. It would become the 'new' bag file for the Trash folder. It would
also permit restart at the point of abnormal exit. Use of memory would
still require the extra step of dumping memory to a 'new' bag file anyway.
