The application LISTENs on channel tcn and a trigger function is
attached to most permanent tables to NOTIFY for DML on that channel.
(See the recently committed triggered_change_notification patch if
you want to see the trigger function.) At this point it might be
hard to determine (at least without re-creating the problem) whether
it was only transactions which issued a NOTIFY, but the application
never really got very far because of COMMIT statements failing with
the above message.
The report to us was that testers were unable to start the
application. I believe that the above error on COMMIT kept the
application from getting past initial tests that the connection was
good.
