xact_desc

ISTM that xact_desc routines do not work properly when called with
WAL_DEBUG enabled from XLogInsert().

LOG:  INSERT @ 0/3740978: prev 0/3740938; xid 5699: Transaction -

The arrays... work fine in recovery, just not prior to inserting.

Anyway, that led me a merry dance with other code.
