Now kill -9 postmaster, and restart. Voila, the page headers are all zeros:

postgres=# select * from page_header(get_raw_page('i_foo', 0));

postgres=# select * from gin_metapage_info(get_raw_page('i_foo', 0));ERROR:  input page is not a GIN metapage
DETAIL:  Flags 0189, expected 0008

I just pushed a fix for this, but unfortunately it didn't make it 9.5alpha1.

Thanks.  I think that that fixed it.  It survived for over an hour this time.  Then it hit a different problem (apparent deadlock in the LWLock code, but that is probably a topic for another thread, I'm working on reproducing it.)

Cheers,

Jeff
