i'm currently running bf6848bc8c82e82f857d48185554bc3e6dcf1013 with this
patch applied.  i haven't seen the symptom yet.  i'll keep it running for
a while.

btw, i've noticed the following message in the server log.  is it normal?

LOG:  could not truncate directory "pg_serial": apparent wraparound
