I don't think that the check of local variable for each COMMIT wastes the
cycle so much. Anyway, the reload of the configuration file should not
cause the server to end unexpectedly. IOW, GUC assign hook should
use GUC_complaint_elevel instead of FATAL, in ereport. The attached
patch fixes that, and includes two typo fixes.
