Thanks for the reviews!  Pushed.

I think that this might be broken.

We have this change:

@@ -73,7 +75,8 @@ GetNewTransactionId(bool isSubXact)
 
    LWLockAcquire(XidGenLock, LW_EXCLUSIVE);
 
-   xid = XidFromFullTransactionId(ShmemVariableCache->nextFullXid);
+   full_xid = ShmemVariableCache->nextFullXid;
+   xid = XidFromFullTransactionId(full_xid);

But then later on in an little-used code path around line 164:

        /* Re-acquire lock and start over */
        LWLockAcquire(XidGenLock, LW_EXCLUSIVE);
        xid = XidFromFullTransactionId(ShmemVariableCache->nextFullXid);

full_xid does not get updated, but then later on full_xid gets returned in lieu of xid.

Is there a reason that this is OK?

Cheers,

Jeff
