Okay for the FATAL.  I can see that at this time of the day your patch
0002 has already been pushed as 846b5a5 with an elog().  Still, it seems
to me that this is not an internal error but an error caused by an
external cause which can be user-visible, so I would push forward with
switching it to an ereport().
