I have been looking at all that for the last couple of days, and
checked the code to make sure that relying on RecoveryInProgress() as
the tipping point is logically correct in terms of virtual XID,
snapshot build and KnownAssignedXids cleanup. This stuff is tricky
enough that I may have missed something, but my impression (and
testing) is that we should be safe.
I am adding this patch to the next CF for now. More eyes are needed.
