I thought about that, but figured you'd object ;-)

One possibility is to do something you had recommended awhile back for
other reasons: add a spinlock to each PROC structure and use the
spinlock, rather than SInvalLock, to protect setting and reading of
xmin, logRec, and related fields.  I haven't finished working out all
the details, though, and this seems like a rather large change to make
at this late stage of beta.  Comments?
