This is a bit disturbing:
*** ./expected/vacuum.out Sat Jul 20 00:58:14 2002

***************
*** 50,55 ****
--- 50,56 ---- DELETE FROM vactst WHERE i != 0; VACUUM FULL vactst;
+ ERROR: HEAP_MOVED_OFF was expected DELETE FROM vactst; SELECT * FROM vactst; i
======================================================================
This is today's CVS HEAD, plus some startup/shutdown logic changes in
postmaster.c that hardly seem like they could be related.
I couldn't reproduce it in a few tries. A reasonable guess is that
it's triggered by autovacuum deciding to vacuum the table sometime
before the VACUUM FULL starts. Anyone want to try to reproduce it?
