Heh -- wasn't it just a few days ago that you and I were rescuing lost
log messages from their non-aborted txns when people's commits failed
(gstein's in my case, and then someone else you assisted) ? So, you
shouldn't be *too* surprised.
Brane, was that blanket statement accurate? Is this a
commits-over-DAV only thing, or ... help us understand the scope of
the problem, please.
