Evil it was.  The haste with which beta3 appeared should've tipped you
off that beta2 was badly broken :-(.  What's puzzling us, though, is
that this bug was in the WAL code from day one, and no one noticed it
till this week.  Seems like someone should have reported trouble with
beta1, if not before.
