Can you provide backtraces from these SEGVs?

I do not like that change at *all*. In the first place, how could it
stop whatever is causing the SEGV? The waitingForLock flag is not
examined anywhere else, so unless things are already broken this cannot
have any effect. In the second place, postponing the reset of the
flag has the potential for an infinite loop, because this routine is
called during error exit. Suppose LockLockTable causes an elog(ERROR)?
I think we need to look harder to find the cause of the SEGVs you are
seeing.
