commit    86073a2b7acc58fce8701a9207a46adb41fbd8cc
Author:   Heikki Linnakangas <heikki.linnakangas@iki.fi>
Date:     Wed Feb 29 13:22:49 2012 +0000
First released in: 9.2.0, 9.1.4

    Correctly detect SSI conflicts of prepared transactions after crash.
    
    A prepared transaction can get new conflicts in and out after preparing, so
    we cannot rely on the in- and out-flags stored in the statefile at prepare-
    time. As a quick fix, make the conservative assumption that after a restart,
    all prepared transactions are considered to have both in- and out-conflicts.
    That can lead to unnecessary rollbacks after a crash, but that shouldn't be
    a big problem in practice; you don't want prepared transactions to hang
    around for a long time anyway.
