I assume what you're complaining about is that PID 9368's select didn't
see the result of pid 11088's update?  The above trace doesn't prove
that anything is wrong.  That behavior would be expected if 9368 had
taken its "snapshot" before 11088's commit finished, and you can't
really tell if that was the case or not from these log entries.  But
given they all happened in less than 1 second, it's certainly possible.
