We should also apply the attached patch, which corrects a minor issue with the conditions for flagging transactions that could potentially make a snapshot unsafe. There's a small window wherein a transaction is committed but not yet on the finished list, and we shouldn't flag it as a potential conflict if so. We can also skip adding a doomed transaction to the list of possible conflicts because we know it won't commit. This is not really a related issue, but Kevin and I found it while looking into this issue, and it was included in the patch we sent out. Dan -- Dan R. K. Ports MIT CSAIL http://drkp.net/
