Ah, that probably explains why I've seen "tuple arrived before metadata"
messages when I've got several apps talking through CORBA to a java app
that connects to postgres. Do I need to synchronize both inserts and
queries at the java app level to prevent this? (I was hoping that
the BEGIN/END block in a transaction would be sufficient, but this makes
it sound as though it isn't.)
