Saving a private inst fails if the merged update is too large

[KallynGowdy]

When running this AUX, a private inst will build up so many updates that it becomes impossible for the server to save them to the database. Ideally, the server should be able to save private insts, regardless of the number of updates.

AUX File:

This might still be possible, but is much less likely now that updates get merged and garbage collected correctly.
