After this commit, I get crash recovery failures when using prepared transactions.

Speedup 2PC recovery by skipping two phase state files in normal path
After the induced crash, I get this failure in recovery:
FATAL: could not access status of transaction 334419347
DETAIL: Could not open file "pg_xact/013E": No such file or directory.
LOG: startup process (PID 60106) exited with exit code 1
LOG: aborting startup due to startup process failure
LOG: database system is shut down
The earliest file which exists in pg_xact is 0176
Other examples:
FATAL: could not access status of transaction 121729737
DETAIL: Could not open file "pg_xact/0074": No such file or directory.
LOG: startup process (PID 23720) exited with exit code 1
FATAL: could not access status of transaction 181325554
DETAIL: Could not open file "pg_xact/00AC": No such file or directory.
LOG: startup process (PID 8375) exited with exit code 1
I experience this in about 1 out of 15 crash-recovery cycles on 8 CPUs.
The patch Pavan posted here did not make any difference:
I've attached the test harness, which I think will look familiar to y'all. It is the usual injection of torn-page-write crashes with consistency checks after recovery (which makes no difference, as the issue is that recovery does not happen), modified to include a very crude transaction manager to make use of 2PC.
Cheers,
Jeff
