[with reply to all followup threads] Yeah, this is the key and we definitely 
have no 100% guarantee that several retries will solve the problem - just as 
the situation in pg_unlink/pg_rename. But shall we do something now? If 
Kevin could help on testing(you may have to revert the registry changes :-() 
, I would like to send a patch in the retry style.

Regards,
Qingqing
