The 0001 and 0002 are effectively unchanged since version 16 posted yesterday, but this now includes 0003 which creates a non-throwing interface to clog, and 0004 which uses the non-throwing interface from within amcheck's heap checking functions.

I was hoping to have that as part of v17, but since it is taking a bit longer than I anticipated, I'll have to come back with that in a later patch.

Many thanks, Mark! I really appreciate this functionality. It could save me many hours of recreating clogs.

I'm not entire sure this message is correct: psprintf(_("xmax %u commit status is lost")
It seems to me to be not commit status, but rather transaction status.

Thanks!

Best regards, Andrey Borodin.
