Unfortunately, I've gotten it to fail, but I haven't looked in depth (I'm
at work, so I'm doing it during compilations and such.)
I made a file ins with a 1000000 line copy to a table named fk with the
value 1, and then if I do the following:
create table pk(a int primary key);
create table fk(a int references pk(a) initially deferred);
insert into pk values (1);
begin;
begin;
\i ins
\i ins
rollback;
\i ins
commit;
It appears to exception on the third \i ins with the tail_thisxact
pointing into a bad place.
