You're welcome. Having re-read my response, I realize now it sounded
harsh, and I certainly didn't mean it that way.
Usually, when a bug shows up here involving race conditions they're so
rare that I've never run into them. And usually when Postgresql DOES make
a mistake, it's something like permanently making a tuple undeleteable or
non-vacuumable, i.e. it tends to err on the side of caution.
7.2 rocks by the way. It's rock solid for us, and we use it for dozens
and dozens of projects where I work. The Postgresql hackers have what I
call a "NASA space shot" mentality. Quite refreshing in a world of
"weekend drag racer" developers.
