So my theory is that if the I/O is really busy, write() on the stats file

I've seen it on customer instances with very high INSERT peak loads (several dozens backends INSERTing/UPDATEing data concurrently). We are using a RAM disk for stats_temp_directory now for a while, and the timeout never occured again.
