Hmm ... do we have a problem when the next XID is exactly at a page
boundary?  I'll look into that.

IIRC, pg_resetxlog doesn't have any provision to create new pg_clog
segments.  Which is probably an oversight, but it's easy enough to
do it by hand.  Do something likedd bs=8k count=1 </dev/zero >/usr/local/pgsql8b3/data/pg_clog/0001
and everything should be fine.
