Never mind. After staring at the code for a while, I spotted the bug,
and was able to reproduce with a simpler case. It's quite easy to
reproduce when you set fillfactor even lower, like 10.
The problem is with this line in heap_multi_insert function:
if (PageGetHeapFreeSpace(page) - saveFreeSpace < MAXALIGN(heaptup->t_len))
That doesn't work as intended, because the return value of
PageGetHeapFreeSpace and saveFreeSpace are unsigned. When saveFreeSpace
is larger than the amount of free space on the page, the left hand side
of that comparison is supposed to go negative, but it wraps around to a
highly positive number because it's unsigned.
Fixed, thanks for the report!
