Is it somehow possible that the commit record was still sitting in the
shared WAL buffers (unwritten) when the response got sent to the client?
That would be the only possibility I can see right now, because Pgtcl
used as in that script sits on top of libpq in blocking mode and that
pretty much outrules early reporting of COMMAND_OK. Fsync/disk-flush
issues can't be the case either because it was only a PM restart without
any OS crash involved, and I don't like the idea of <whatever*nix>
forgetting a write().
