While it's not any worse for v19 than older branches, it would be sad
if this isn't fixed for v19 GA, since we have that scheduled ahead of
the November minors.
Also, of late the test_decoding/sql/ddl.sql test has been failing
often enough in the buildfarm to be quite annoying. So I'd like to
see this fixed sooner not later. (It's not very clear to me why
we are suddenly able to see this old bug in the regression tests.
The part of ddl.sql that's crashing hasn't changed in years, but
BF member "prion" has failed multiple times in the past two weeks.
Do we have a theory about that that's better than hand-wavy
"some change in timing"?)
