I worked with Jim Nasby and we found this is the line that is failing on
Gerbil in the build farm during initdb: tqual.c, line 844 in 8.0.X
if (HeapTupleHeaderGetCmin(tuple) >= snapshot->curcid)
This particular line was last modified in 2002. However, this was a
file that was changed as part of the VACUUM tuple chain commit:
revision 1.81.4.2date: 2005/08/25 19:45:01; author: tgl; state: Exp; lines: +7 -4Back-patch fixes for problems with
VACUUMdestroying t_ctid chains too soon,and with insufficient paranoia in code that follows t_ctid links.This patch
coversthe 8.0 branch.
and the date of the commit to 8.0.X corresponds to the date that
failures started to happen:
