Re: Is this a problem in GenericXLogFinish()?

I've encountered a case with a hash index, when an assert added by the
commit fails:

CREATE TABLE t (i INT);
CREATE INDEX hi ON t USING HASH (i);
INSERT INTO t SELECT 1 FROM generate_series(1, 1000);

BEGIN;
INSERT INTO t SELECT 1 FROM generate_series(1, 1000);
ROLLBACK;

CHECKPOINT;

VACUUM t;

Leads to:
Core was generated by `postgres: law regression [local] VACUUM                                       '.
Program terminated with signal SIGABRT, Aborted.

It looks like the buffer is not dirty in the problematic call.
