Hmm. My machine was rebooted over the weekend for Heartbleed patches, so
I'll have to re-build the database and fire off enough runs to repro.
There are some disadvantages to keeping it in tmpfs...
Meanwhile, a quick question: what factors might cause a prepared
transaction to exist in the first place? I'm running a single-node db,
and I've had only normal database shutdowns, so I wouldn't have expected
any.
Thoughts?
