   Thanks.  I experimented a bit there without any success at all.  Time for the   
   big guns:   
   1 - I tried reinstalling Leap 15.0 from scratch.  It demanded 256MB for   
   /boot/efi - even though only 32MB of the current 100MB are in use.  I could   
   have let it resize the partition, moving the Windows partition up a bit but   
   eventually decided not to    
   bother.   
   2 - Now I'm installing 42.3, reformatting the root partition to ext4 while   
   leaving /home untouched.  Overkill but the beast has been spending so much   
   time taking snapshots that I wish to rule this out "for ever".  42.3 considers   
   100MB for /boot/efi to be    
   plenty.   
      
   I may move up to 15.0 again (as an upgrade, that should be ok) but it won't be   
   for a while.
